True. The first of the U.S.-spec. low-compression Spitfire engines, rated at something like 48 net hp. That said, though, it's not the worst thing in the world. I've helped take care of a good friend

Oops! It occured to me after I sent this that, if you have it, you could probably bolt in the pedal assembly from the 1972, along with the cable you'll need to work the Stromberg. It might be easier

Larry, the "FK" series was the early (1971) U.S.-spec. Spitfire Mk.IV engine, so we're talking pretty much a late 1970-summer or fall 1971 production date. H is high compression; E is simply Engine u

OK, now I'm confused as well. I'm pretty sure that, by the time we got the 6+, we got Stromberg CDSE carbs on the 49-state models. Also, by the 1970 models, we got charcoal cannisters for evaporative

Gee, Rich, you're right (as far as being wrong, that is). ;-) The 1200 did continue at least into 1970, I think only in saloon form. I have a couple of brochures showing the "full" 1970 Triumph line;
