Not entirely true ... original engine was 1991 cc , the TR3B was
upped to about 2200 cc Check the number on the bottom of your
distributor, if it is DM2 that is for the TR2, but will probably
work, if 26D maybe 25D not sure without looking then you are good to
go ... Works fine with 91 octane.
Good Luck
