Steve,
Performance Tuning Sunbeam Tiger by Gordon Chittenden,
published by Floyd Cymer Publications copyright 1967.
Floyd Cymer Publications ( in 1967) was at: 222 No. Virgil ave.,
Los Angeles, Calif 90004. I bought my copy years ago from
one of those companies that advertise with a huge list of car books
in Car and Driver or similar mag. To show that the flat rate
is really for a Tiger get this:
"One valve /valve spring, R&R (L. H. side) No.1 to 7 1 hr 32 min.
One valve /valve spring, R&R (L. H. side) No 8 9 hr 12 min."
Now you know one reason I moved my firewall back 6".
Book has a picture of Gorden driving the Larry Reed Sports Car Drag racing
Sunbeam Tiger. 108 Mph at 12.95 sec.
It would be interesting to know if Gorden Chittenden is still into Tigers.
If you are out there Gorden let us know.
Jim Barrett TigerII 351C and others.
