Anthony; I think I might have the companion small bore Triumph 1300
performance book to yours. It is not at hand right now , but was published
in the UK in the 70's sometime. It talks about the same subjects, including
the TJ injection system (of which I happen to own one). Who is the
publisher of your book? Maybe it will jog my memory.
