Unfortunately Bentley's (and the rest of the food chain beneath them) is out
of the TR7 ROM, the Haynes I bought hasn't arrived and I have questions.
This is a 1976TR7FHC.
1) What kind of valves are in this thing? Are they adjustable or hydraulic?
2) What marking exists on the crank to indicate TDC for timing. I know the
approximately location where I expect it to be, but can't find anything like
a detent to tell me where it is. I see a lil bump on the crank, but if its
TDC I am running at about 50 BTDC. The engine is running not too bad after
a Pertronix and complete carb cleaning and rebuild. It even idles so I
can't be 50 BTDC.
3) What is the correct battery size? Anyone got an Interstate Number or
other number I can use for cross reference.
4) Any quick thoughts on why one headlamp will rise but not retract?
Possibly just dirty?
5) If the radiator was extremely low do I have to pull the plug atop the
thermostat? What do I do next? Fill it or just let air out?
6) Did the Federal version have an air pump? Looks like there was one and
was removed.
7) They didn't really leave out a fuel filter is designing these, did they?
Thanks all.
