Hello Dr Bill,
Historically, ram air has been found not to work well due to upsetting the carburation, however it does give cooler air than drawing it from under the bonnet, which is a good thing.
You say that headers, which I take to be exhaust manifold, do not do anything for power. The TR 6 is quite a good system as standard but fitting a 6-3-1 manifold (not 6-2-1) has been shown to give a good increase for a road car. Not a particularly good cost\gain ratio perhaps, but effective.
I also run points with a Lucas Sports coil on my Triumph and am quite happy with the set up. I regularly check the dwell and points volts drop and find that I rarely need to make any adjustment, contrary to what I have read from others on this forum.
We don't see many triple set up's in Britain but then we are fortunate to have the Lucas injection over here.
have fun.
Alec
