Just a side comment to this ... "maximum advance" is usually given in full-throttle terms (since that's when knock is most likely to occur, and also when correct advance is most important), which me

Jim, I had no trouble accessing the site ... but frankly I cannot read the scans. Any chance you could put them up at a higher resolution ? And maybe with a bit less compression ? Don't mean to be c

Depends on whether you start at TDC after the compression stroke or TDC after the exhaust stroke. They're both known as TDC ... although TDC after compression is usually the one you're interested in

A wooden match stick coated with a bit of carpenter's (or even Elmer's) glue works even better. I use that for lots of things, including the sidecurtain brackets on my TR3A. If you want to really ge

To be legal would basically require a complete, ground-up redesign. Simply no way to meet current safety requirements without a complete rework of the frame and body. Electronic engine management wo

Have you looked at a modern Morgan ? Granted they still look like a kit car ... but IMO the resemblance to a classic Morgan ends there. Not one body panel is the same, I'll bet not one suspension or

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that the 4/4 has not been available in the US for many years, due to it's failure to meet our safety standards; and the Plus 8 (which is a mu

Well, I'm more of a working class stiff ... and I'm going to drive my TR3A to work in just a bit. But I was really talking about "as new" ... and TR3s don't command anywhere near the prices Morgans

IMO a S2000 is more comparable to a big Healey or maybe a Jag ... fast, fun, but expen$ive. The TR3, at least in America, was cheap enough to be a reasonable alternative as a working man's first new

Trust me ... it works ! The trick is that one of the tie rod ends (can't recall which one offhand) has left hand threads, so that turning the tube screws both ends in (or out) at the same time. Obvi
