I did it on my TR4, good results.  Or perhaps I should say that I've not
experienced cool failure.  Bear in mind that (on the TR4) the mounting holes
in the block go thru to oiled area, must be sealed.

conclusions as to the result? I have a TR4 but it applies to most Triumphs.
The current coil, gold Lucas Sport is 15 years old, not a lot of mileage on
it. I had a coil go bad many years ago and the engine was missing badly before
it quit completely. This coil isn't that bad but there's a roughness at speed
(40-55 mph) that I can't pinpoint. Everything else has been tried, so a new
coil is on the way.
