You are further ahead than I am, Susan. I have had only one Triumph for 3.6
decades (and a couple of junk parts cars). Unfortunately, I have distorted
many engines, transmissions, and differentials. One of our list educators
has already educated me. I included his message. I also recently saw an old
coil sitting on one of my many shelves. I think that I will take a hatchet
and whack it tomorrow to see what I find. Thanks for the information.

I guess I learned something today. Mine never leaked. I changed out several
coils down through the decades, counting my street driven cars. I have a
standard coil on the TR-3, and therefore have oil. Thanks.
