RRT, It never seems to end with you does it. Take some time and look at a few other forums besides the STOC forum and you will see there are many nationalities contributing to the thread. Even take some time to look at the member list of the STOC forum. Your comments are very disappointing but not u...

There's a bit to pick up on here. - The Pressed Steel patent body plates on the Le Mans cars tell us 7734 KV started out with a SIII body and the ADU cars started out as SIV's. - The three of them were built as factory sanctioned "Sunbeam Tigers" from new, albeit the name was settled on in April af...

Hi Lou,

Thanks for the update, so it was just too rich for the engine to fire. Good find.

Robin, Mate get your facts 100% correct before you start to involve my fathers car AHP 295B, do your homework please before you begin to open that door, Otherwise you could make yourself look a little foolish. I could easily write a good book on the car and it's ultimate destruction, but until STOC...

I remember when I installed my new distributor and leads, the boots were also quite tight so it may be possible it hasn't seated correctly.

Re: More power for minimum fuss

have been told that a Holley carb & Edelbrock manifold would give me a lot more power with very little effort. Doubt you would be satisfied with the result from only changing carb and inlet manifold on a stock 260. A modern 302 might be a consideration and keep the original 260 stock and safe, as i...

To RRT (Paul), Please don't take this the wrong way as I am not trying to be smart or disrespectful in any way, but I have read about the Tiger that was in your Family that was re-shelled/re-birthed. From what I have read, it would appear that you were very much against the re-birth of that Tiger. W...

Hi Lou, On my setup, my no. 1 connection on the distributor is at approximately 11 o'clock looking from the front of the car. You could probably use a small amount of petroleum jelly to help slide the boot over the spark plug. There may even be a special lubricant for the spark plug boots. Regards, ...

Paul,

I'm with Graham, what is this stigma with you and the TAC? Talk of the dreaded TAC, TAC through the back door and alienation... You're entitled to your opinion, but give it a rest. No one is forcing you to have a TAC on your car. It has its place for those that want it.
