Hi folks 1969 PI distributor which I think is original which has being reconditioned by Dizzy Doc and fitted with electronic ignition. On examination it has a small knurled adjuster wheel I presume for advance/retarding the ignition. There is no vacuum connection/diaphragm. Does this actually do anything or do you have to turn the whole body to adjust? Thanks Andy

OverDrive Logic Controller

+1 for Rogers Logic Box works a treat. Andy -
Hi Mike A sneaky solution like it - an adjustable air choke. Likely easier to set the fast idle than the current mechanical set up with all its potential for wear/play in the linkages. So does this replace the air bleed screw ie is it full open to allow base idle to be set as well with the heater valve. Any more pics and what heater valve have you used? Andy

Moss And Rimmers bought by US Based private equity company
PodOne replied to BlueTR3A-5EKT's topic in General TR Technical
I suspect the quality will fall to the lowest of the pairing while any competitive pricing element will disappear on the back of increased profits. Or they load it with so much debt it folds and they move on to the next family business to feed on. On the plus side the remaining supplies of quality parts might see and increase in demand if they can hold fast. Andy -

Hi Roger worth a go I suppose although it was around 2 years ago. Andy

Hi folks My wiper arms from TEX which I bought a long time ago but only recently fitted have unfortunately begun to shed the chrome finish from the caps which is disappointing. Anyone suggest better quality alternatives preferably in stainless steel? Thanks Andy

Hi Mike Can't enlighten as to the adjustability of the original set up but clearly there was some changes made across the years to improve the handling albeit with some difficulty now in achieving any changes. What I can say is the adjustable brackets make it much easier to adjust the camber using a camber gauge. Setting the toe in isn't too hard. The front for me has been more problematic. Andy

Thanks all There is no pre filter to the pump. The filter is after the pump maybe this is something to think about adding but I understand there are lots of cars without a pre filter. I'll report back when I have done some further investigations. Andy

Hi Mike I blew though the return from the MU to tank when the MU was off to replace the seal between the two halves of the MU. (forgot the name). On removing the cap there was no vacuum so guess its venting ok. The gauge is tapped into the feed just as it enters the MU. Ive no picture of the gauge but it does read 108-110 psi prior to developing the issue. I'm going to see what she reads tomorrow from cold and physically check the fuel level in the tank as although the fuel gauge reads 50% I wonder if it's a true reading hence fuel starvation. I'd just returned following a blast

Hi folks Looking for some pointers as to the current issue. The car has covered over 500miles and after a decent run today with no issues or prior I thought it was time to see if I could make the idle a little more evenly as she was oscillating between 600 - 1000 rpm ( I accept they are always bit lumpy) and improve the pick up on accelerating esp in 2nd which after 3000rpm she goes well and not too bad in 3rd & 4th. Tank 50% full of fresh fuel. The whole PI system was refurbished by Neil Ferguson and is running a Bosch pump to an original PRV all fed from new Ali tank with a 10m

If the replacement repro panel are as poor as those for the TR6 I would suggest you repair what you have. I ended up going this way when I couldn't make the repro fit after which I simply cut it up to repair the original. Andy
