2. RE: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 04:49:55 -0500; Hi Graham. I have a 1972 and started to do this because I thought it was affecting idle stability. I decided not to because I didn't want to spray oil mist from the crankcase all over. Here are the c; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00697.html (8,809 bytes)

4. RE: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 19:12:17 -0500; Interesting. The only time I actually had my hands on an air pump, I was severely dressed down. My boss c. 1980, Leonard, asked me to remove the alternator. Well, it did look sort of like an alternat; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00732.html (9,324 bytes)

I believe the function of the switch is to disable the vacuum retard when the engine is hot. This has the effect of advancing; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00774.html (9,709 bytes)

9. RE: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 23:26:34 -0800; If anything, advancing the spark (from the retarded value) will make the engine run cooler, as it will be more efficient. But the major effect is, as you say, to increase idle speed and thus move mo; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00779.html (8,911 bytes)

12. RE: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 12:17:55 -0500; I had to re-read Tim's note. I think you are correct. It does pump air into the exhaust helping to combust unburnt hydrocarbons. Now, here's a new question. Does this increase exhaust backpressure? I; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00787.html (11,449 bytes)

Re: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 11:00:42 -0700; I don't know if they ever did it to TR6's, but certain Spitfire 1500 models had air rails attached to holes in the head that did pump air into the intake side of the head, instead of the exhaust.

15. RE: Emission Control (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 13:18:16 -0500; You are absolutely correct. Having removed the hideous mess from 3 75 Tr6s I've noticed no reduction in gas mileage, but by the same token, no seat-of-the-pants noticeable difference in performance.; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00793.html (9,594 bytes)

As with the TR6, the Spitfire's air pump is driven by a single-purpose belt which can be removed easily. On many cars, the pump is siezed; /html/triumphs/2002-11/msg00797.html (10,233 bytes)
