Yes. Might be the point plate is binding, or (more likely IMO) the vacuum module has developed an internal leak. But it's only for emissions reduction at idle, the engine will run fine otherwise exc

Most likely, you've only run the battery down. IMO a couple of minutes is too long. If you didn't get oil pressure in that length of time cranking with the plugs out, then something is wrong. Randal

Joe, my suggestion is to run the valves again. There is no natural process that will make the valve gaps too small, except for valve seat recession. And if it is recession, 300 miles is plenty for t

In spite of the Moss catalog, the carb bodies were different between the different float bowl mounting arrangements, to compensate for the difference in mount height. However, your 60 should have th

No, I don't believe so. However, a '66 would most likely be a TR4A engine, which means you probably want to keep the flywheel from your '3. The 4A flywheel only takes the 4A (and later) clutch, whic

I don't recall offhand, do the later regulators (control box) have an extra terminal on A1 ? If so, that would be an ideal place to tap power for the fan. If not, then I think you'll need to tap int

Nope, no way to install it at all. The flywheel flange on the TRactor motor is quite a bit bigger than the seal surface. Randall Check out the new British Cars Forum: http://www.team.net/the-local/t

Normally, since a front swaybar increases the roll stiffness in the front, thereby reducing the overall amount of roll in a turn, it will make the car less apt to lift a rear wheel. A rear bar will
