Hello to All from Dave888. I have been a British car enthusiast since 1967. In that year, I bought a 1962 TR4. I parked it in 1969 when Uncle Sam sent me to Southeast Asia and during that time, my brother totaled it. Due to university, a family, and working, I didn't get back into another Triumph until 1986 when I purchased a 76 TR6 which I still drive today, While I had the 76 in the shop for some engine work last year, I bought a 72 TR6, (had to have one to drive).
The 72 is stock and carbureted with OVD while the 76 has been modified. Along with basic refurbishments, the 76 has been upgraded with a compression ratio incr to 9.8 :1, upgraded tappets, springs, push rods, Goodparts GP2 cam and 1.65:1 roller rocker assmbly. Goodparts 6-2-1 header. Aluminum radiator w/ electric fan. And finally, a CP, Lucas Mark II fuel injection system. The car's suspension/ drive drain has been rebuilt with front and rear sway bars. Goodparts CV axles and hubs, a Nissan R-200 limited slip differential and a rebuilt stock trans w/ J-type OVD. (It is a real blast to drive.)
