381. [TR] tr3 distributor (score: 131)

Finding parts can be a problem, though, and you should really run it on a distributor machine to see if you got the advance curve right. Yes, that's right. It's puts a knee in the advance curve, for

Stock alternator? Could be; or you could have a shorted cell in the battery. But the harness wiring should be able to take all that the alternator can produce, even with a shorted regulator. So ther

Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall)

I believe the original was 30 amps (approx). However if there is any chance you might install some upgrades, like a high power stereo, driving lights or a bigger alternator, then I would go for the

Might not apply to you, but I was told that the last set of new rings I bought for my TR3A were deliberately oversize, so they could be matched to the bore. I don't recall the details offhand, but I

Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall)

Not surprising, since they share the wiring to the lamps. Looking at Dan's diagram for a TR250, I think you should only have the red hazard warning blinking on the dash; not the green turn indicator

Shouldn't be too hard. Get a snap-action micro switch with a roller (any electronics supplier, except maybe Radio Shack), plus some flat iron strap from Lowes or Home Depot. Hold the switch up where

Sounds like a perfect description of Herman van den Akkers kit (HVDA). You source the Celica gearbox, he supplies everything else. It literally uses the stock lever, in the stock location. Oh wait,

A dealer probably could order the kit and install it, but I'm guessing that in most cases it was factory-installed. The kit included the harness, and either the factory or the dealer would have been

A curious thing: Looking through the Lucas catalogs, I cannot find any mention of a model L494 lamp earlier than 1965. It does not appear in the 1960 Master Catalog, nor any of the individual catalo

John, let me once again apologize. My post in the wee hours was not only misinformed, but poorly phrased as well. I was curious to see what the manuals had to say about whether Stanpart 502251 inclu

4 speeds were a lot less common back in the 60s; also bigger and heavier. It might have been chosen for the smaller size; but I'd guess it's just what came out of the donor car. Ironically, though,

Try the hardware section of your FLAPS. I found some plastic inserts that worked very well. Even moved them from the wreck to the project TR3. -- Randall

Probably varies, depending on commission number. But both my late TR3 and early TR3A had only two small blocks of wood, near the front of the quarter rail. Appeared to be just to support the rail it

Yes, there has. Unfortunately, it is intended to be used with the original scroll still on the crankshaft; while you have apparently had yours ground off. If the older style worked for you, then I'd

I believe Dan's is complete, for the original car. Your extra "regulators" (perhaps they are relays instead?) were probably added along with the meters of extra wiring. -- Randall - with 7 added rel

My car is an early TR3, which originally only had one brake light in the center. The other two lamps served only as tail lights and turn signals. So two of the relays are to make the corner lamps se

One theory I've heard is that re-worked engines (those found defective in some manner and repaired by the factory before delivery) were painted red. Dunno if that's true, but it makes sense to me. -

I'll second the suggestion to check the brake lights. Also, there are several separate green wires connected to that fuse. It might help to disconnect them one at a time, to at least identify which a
