102. [TR] TR3 Gearbox Oil (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2011 11:48:46 -0700; Sorry, don't know anything about it. But sounds like it would probably be OK. Ken Gillanders wrote a few years back about some synthetics being too "slick" for good synchro operation, but the SWEPCO; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00234.html (9,504 bytes)
103. [TR] TR4A Driving Lights (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2011 15:27:01 -0700; FWIW, I wasn't all that pleased with the Hellas I bought many years ago.

105. [TR] TR4A Dual Exhaust Question (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 13:44:24 -0700; If the exhaust is still hot enough to turn chrome blue at the end of the tailpipe, I suspect your EGT is way too high. Since high EGT can do a whole lot worse than turn the bumper blue, I'd double-c; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00266.html (7,990 bytes)
106. [TR] exhaust resinator (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 19:42:52 -0700; AFAIK, it's just a difference in terminology, used by Moss to differentiate between the two mufflers. The factory parts catalog calls them both "silencers", and they appear identical except for leng; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00268.html (8,371 bytes)
107. [TR] Ignition question; not really TR, but could be! (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2011 00:42:49 -0700; That would be a very typical value for an "external ballast required" coil, which is what most cars after 1970 or so used (until the advent of HEI, etc). The car will have some sort of resistance (l; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00291.html (8,377 bytes)

Instead they are rated by wire gauge, and should be one size smaller than the circuit they protect. Just in case I wasn't clear before,; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00298.html (9,401 bytes)
109. [TR] Subject: Re: Headlights/driving lights/relays/fuses/connectors (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:25:19 -0700; Not really. The issue remains that fuses sometimes fail for reasons other than too much current through them. In my case (when the headlights went out while going down a mountain at night), the prob; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00312.html (8,164 bytes)

118. [TR] TR3 Brake light switch (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:22:42 -0700; It worked for me. ISTR they gave me one from an old Ford pickup truck. But it depends on who you get at the counter. Yes, but you can minimize it by using something to hold the brake pedal partially; /html/triumphs/2011-04/msg00366.html (8,610 bytes)
