My 2500S saloon is equipped with the anti-runon valve as it has been built
to comply with the Australian ADR27a regulations. I believe these
regulations equated to emission rules that applied to California in the
early 70's. What seems odd is that Triumph did not stay with the ZS175
carburettors - they fitted SU HID6 carburettors instead of the HS6
carburettors fitted to normal Triumphs.
The biggest problem I have had is with the oil pressure switch with the
three terminals. I have had two fail in the 7 year ownership of the car -
one failed to work and the other began to leak oil - more than the other
leaks...
