Jeff, Mike, I also had Bosch in the car when I got it plus I bought the
Champions as they were the OEM fitted ones and what my local Triumph dealer
always used in the UK. But since I have a 76 1500, it is listed in the books in
the auto stores. I am not sure if a 67 is listed.
Also I look up http://www.cskauto.com/ as a reference ( usual disclaimers here)
never buy anything as they are too expensive for specific parts ( clutch master
$200 versus ~$100 from the catalogues) but they do list the parts like plug
even for your 67 spitfire, I just checked.
Also my local NAPA store (only auto store in town as well) is very good in
researching and helping for run of the mill parts like oil filters. I took the
adapter and the old filter and they matched the thread and filter type. Am
stopping there later today for some vacuum pipe to fix my leak to the
distributer once and for all. I'll take the car round and have them get me
parts to fit. They like the challenge as opposed to the used Ford, GM etc.
standard parts they they sell so much of I am sure.
