If the tires are stock diameter, that should be overdrive engaged. At 55 with stock diameter tires, you should see around 2700-2800 in 4th direct. Irv Korey 74 TR6 CF22767U Highland Park, IL triumphs

More likely rust, IMO. Conventional brake fluid is amazingly corrosive, especially when it gets old. If it's any consolation, both of the caliper bleed screws were stuck on TS13571L when it came to

To the more well informed. Yesterday was a beautiful weekend in North Georgia and I had the opportunity for a nice drive with my 1976 TR6. Great day until I heard that unusual sound from up front and

I agree with Randall about instant gasket gunge. Many years ago as a wet-behind-the-ears Apprentice at Jaguar, I used the same technique - and got caught by the Engine Assembly Foreman. The punishmen
