Since you've brought that up, Peter, remember several years ago when I pointed out that Moss was listing the spin-on oil filter adapter as fitting TR2-4A, when in fact it does not fit TR2 and early

It's not a matter of coarse vs fine threads ... the early bypass filter heads are quite a bit different internally than the later full-flow filter heads. Both are coarse threads, but the early heads

TRactor motors are fairly well known for having the oil pickup screen break where it is soldered to the pickup tube. If a piece of swarf gets through the break, it will lock the oil pump rotors. In

Warning, Warning Will Robinson ! If it starts fine from cold with no choke, it's too rich ! I would definitely try another coil. A cheap aftermarket coil from K-mart will work just fine, if you find

There used to be. Today you'll probably have to ask at the counter at Pep Boys or wherever, and they'll probably insist on knowing the make, model and year it fits. "1967 Dodge Dart, 225 slant six"

My failure was certainly sudden and dramatic ... driving down the freeway when I noticed an increase in engine noise. Quick check of the gauges confirmed no oil pressure, so I shut down immediately

If it works the way I think it does, it may show a spark when, in fact, there is no spark at the plug tip. Purely as an example, if the plug were shorted (side electrode touching center electrode),

Several. One such is http://www.vtr.org/TR2/TR2-production.html which gives TS41630 as the first car completed in 1959. Another is Bill Piggott's book, Original Triumph TR2/3/3A, which gives it as T

That says the problem is almost certainly fuel not getting through the carbs, at least not in adequate quantity. Might be a big vacuum leak somewhere, or your choke isn't working. One of our local c

I just want to add that I don't recommend Grosse Jets. They're more apt to cause problems than to solve them. Because of the larger opening in the valve, they transmit more force to the floats. That
