Sounds like it was just enough extra to get you what you needed. It's my believe that having it in the top h; /html/triumphs/2011-09/msg00179.html (8,709 bytes)
303. [TR] 65 mph (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:08:06 -0700; Not quite, as the 23.9" figure is the measured diameter but the tires deflect where they touch the ground.

306. [TR] To restore or not restore, that is the question (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:07:50 -0700; Kind of depends on what you plan to do with the car, IMO.

The second wire (blue on TR250, blue/white on TR6) implements the "flash to pass" feature. According to the TR250 diagram, when you pull ba; /html/triumphs/2011-09/msg00232.html (8,949 bytes)
309. [TR] Greenish oil (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 11:56:03 -0700; Paul, is there any chance you added a ZDDP or break-in additive?
