Re: 1962 Daimler SP250 - Oregon, USA

I do notice a couple of things non-standard. The first the change in distributor cap -- looks like GM with coil but appears to have original drive for tachometer. HEI cap and coil are cheap in USA, fitment is very interesting. The second is the trafficator switch installed upside down(?) with and Au...

Re: Push rod difference

Kent, Thanks for the feedback. I went back and took a look and all sets are either thick or thin at both ends however what I did not realize was the outer diameter on the "small" ones is .040" less in outside diameter. It may prove to be poor oil changes or poor oil but it seems too c...

Re: Siezed engine STILL.!

Its a modification done to Triumph cars, I believe TR2 - TR6, but mainly TR4-TR6. I have done it on my Dart but although its inexpensive in the USA about $150 I don't rec...
