- It seems that as long as I've had my '53 TD the spark plugs have fouled on a regular basis. Last summer I had the carbs professionally rebuilt and adjusted and expected that to solve the problem. But

- Non of that matters. The main problem is fuel and air distribution. There is no way on earth that you can balance the correct amount of air and fuel flow. I found this to be an impossible task - esp

- If it is a 1953, and if the cylinder head has not been replaced by one from an earlier TD (or TC or TB), then you're using the wrong spark plug. The late TD/TF head requires a plug with a 3/4 inch t

- Early 1/2" reach plug heads take L series Champion plugs and are ientified by the number 22952 ( as I recall ) cast into the front right top corner of the head. Late heads use 3/4" N series Champion

- A few things spring to mind - 1 Is your cylinder head a later one that needs 3/4 in reach plugs not the 1/2 inch of the L82xx plugs? 2 Though the carbs have been rebuilt, did you just bolt them on a

- Hi Nels Champion N5's are probably way to hard which would explain your fouling. I would suggest you change to N12's for a test and if these are too soft go to N9,s which is what MGB:s are using. Bes

- Take the cap off, grab the dizzy shaft and give it a shake. If it moves it's time for a re-build. The case it pot metal, which over time will have an oval pattern on it when it turns which will cause
