I think this is the issue a lot of people will run into more and more. The factory stuff is all brittle 40 year old plastics that can't be easily replaced. If a previous owner ditched this stuff,...

Crazy prices on some of the basics. I'm not that surprised by the engine rebuild worst case price, but the rest is pretty absurd. Outside of the tranny and engine, working on this car is pretty...

VE table from another person won't really help you due to all the variables that can go into fueling.

Does the ECU have an autotune feature? If it does, it will tune the VE table based on target...

I have the Triumphs as well and find the entire linkage pretty finicky and temperamental. One thing to check is that all the butterfly nuts aren't overly tight. Also, make sure all the springs and...

Yeah I have the timing cranked when cold and it idles pretty decent after firing as long as I help it with my foot for about 3-4 seconds. I'm probably expecting too much by wanting it to fire like a...

Just a quick bump. After replacing a few idle valves that were DOA, it's pretty dialed now. Hot starts are bang on. But I've found that a Ford idle valve pumping air to 6 ITBs just doesn't push...

NGK 7 seems to be the sweet spot for a stock 2.7/3.0/3.2 in my experience and from what I've picked up here over the years. I run the BKR7EIX in my 3.0.

I'll weigh mine once I pull it out, might be a week or two tho, so probably quicker to contact Sparco directly if you need a quicker answer.

Not to derail the thread and take away from Mike's effort, and maybe it's not on the site, but I don't see a turnkey solution on the Griffith's site. It seems to assume you have AC already and aren't...

It's pretty clear it's overheating, performance just falls off a cliff around the top white mark, just bogging down and really sluggish. I suppose I'll look at the sensors, but she's not happy.
