Thanks guys!! That was the answer I was hoping for. BTW - the other winter job I did, (based on recommendation Mick made a while ago), was removing and cleaning the oil filter head assembly. At first I thought that might be what was leaking! Anyway, mine was fairly clean with just some sludge around the spring/ball assemblies. However I’m now seeing almost 10 pounds more oil pressure indicated on the gauge, so it was worth the effort. Jim

Folks one of my winter projects was to move the ignition coil from the side of the block, to the left inner wheel arch. I always thought having the coil on the block subjected it to a lot of heat, plus there were already two holes on the inner arch that looked factory to me that fit the coil bracket, (does anyone else have these holes on their car?), so I thought “why not”? Anyway, today I drove the car for the first time this year and when I got home I found a misting of oil on the side of the block, the oil head/filter, the distributor pedestal, basically that entire area. With the engi

FYI - There’s a company here in the US called Patton Machine that offers a throttle body kit for the TR4. https://www.pattonmachine.com/shop/four-4-cylinder-engine-throttle-body-injection-kit-with-distributor-conversion-ignition-mapping-for-two-2-small-or-medium-bodied-carbs/ Jim

It’s the state law in NJ (and I believe in all other states as well) that you must move to the right as quickly as possible - as long as it is safe to do so - to allow emergency/police vehicles to pass (they are trained to pass on the left). It can get a little confusing on barrier divided highways, but seems to work out ok. Whoa to the driver who doesn’t allow a police car to pass! Jim

I mounted a “cigar lighter” type socket inside the glovebox. It has its own inline fuse. I then put a dual USB adapter in the socket as that is my most common use, however I can still use any other similar accessory as needed. The reason I mounted it in the glovebox is I use the open glovebox door as a shelf to hold my phone (I have a suction cup style holder the sticks very well to the inside of the lacquered door). With the glovebox closed, everything is neatly tucked away. But on to the more important question………the speed limit in Wales is 20 mph?!?! Hell, here in New Jersey you’d get

Folks, I’m going to do the TR4A/TR6 wiper motor conversion this winter. I’ve been reading many of the posts here regarding this conversion, and I think I understand all the items needed like swapping in a 90 degree drive gear. I plan on using the 4A wheel boxes and drive cable. However I’m a bit confused on what switch to use with this motor. I want to use a switch that hopefully will fit in the 4A plinth. I found this switch on the SVC site. Will this work? Are there better choices? thanks Jim
