[TR] sputtering TR3

[fred thomas]

If you have access to a  "Lucas Spare Parts " cataloge they have a listing 
for all parts they make and for that size engine, anyway the answer is yes, 
when up the engines displacement and cc' size the factory had a different 
model # dist. installed, about 4 different dist listings just for T/R 3A & 
T/R 4..  "FT"
