Hi Guys,
Ugly, my 76 Victory Edition TR7 just quit running while on a run a few weeks
ago. The tach went to zero but the radio was still blasting. I pulled her to
the side of the road, took a depth breath, stuck my tongue out and tuned the
key and she started right back up and I was once again on my way. However,
since I was mouthing off about reliability and originally I can't let this go.
I
am thinking that the original Lucas Opus electronic ignition is beginning to
crap out like they are so well known to do or maybe the notoriously weak
ignition switch is shorting. I had a guy work on the A/C a few months ago and
he
told me she would not start one time and later fired right up.
Any thoughts before I start replacing parts? The one thing I will not
hesitate to do is throw these original Lucas electronic ignitions in the woods.
Any
suggestions on a good replacement for a TR7? I am running a Luminition kit on
the TR8 after throwing two originals in the woods.
Thanks in advance,
Darrell
