i also was very happy with Jeff when he rebuilt my disy.it was just a few b=

the new pat into the old.

if you send it to advanced distributors,=20

they can add pertronix or leave stock, modify the curve, fix the vacuum=20

What are the numbers on the vacuum advance unit?=C2=A0 There should be a 6 =

digit part number, like 54413565 and also a set of 3
numbers separated by dashes, like 2-6-3.=C2=A0 (Those are the number for th=

I have it listed in my database for 66-67 TR4A with high compression, but=

can't find any indication of that in the Lucas catalogs or
Triumph documentation so it is probably a mistake of some sort.=C2=A0 A lit=

poking around with Google turned up applications like
Singer Gazelle and Hillman Hunter.

The functional difference will be the advance curves (both centrifugal and=
=20
vacuum).=C2=A0 Compared to a 40480 (which is listed for later
56 TR3), the 40798 gives quite a bit less advance up to roughly 2500 rpm,=
=20
then lets it go several degrees higher by 5000 rpm.
But of course, since the parts all interchange, it is quite possible that=
=20
someone has modified the advance curve to almost anything.
Mechanically, it's a model 25D so there are lots of differences with the=20
model DM2 that would be original to your 56 TR3.

Any of the 25D advance units will fit and work.=C2=A0 To be on the safe sid=
e,=20
stick with one that provides roughly the same advance or
less.
Another alternative may be to have your local independent auto parts store=
=20
send it out for rebuild.=C2=A0 I did that many years ago and
was very happy with the results.=C2=A0 The result looked and worked like ne=
w, and=20
cost less than buying new.=C2=A0 Turnaround was 3 or 4 days
as I recall.=20
