Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
As of yesterday, all the work I have been putting in getting Amos my '69 Triumph TR6 ready for driving season was brutally halted. Engine purring, as I closed the hood for a test drive. Suddenly, loud pops and flames shoot out the exhaust header.
The Ratco Braided, Stainless Steel throttle cable had ground a hole in one of the header pipes. Why did this NOT happen when I had the enngine stripped down to the header two weeks ago? Blargh!!
My block is a 1968 TR250, my carbs are 1970 Strombergs 175 CD2, tranny is TR4A, the dizzy a 1969. most of the car is 1969. It appears the rusted headers are Pacesetters.( 6 into 1 ) No idea the year of the head.
1. How can I determine the year of the head?
2. What headers can be sourced for a 1969 TR6?
Thanks much- What a disappointment. Going out for the first drive in 5 months and headers blow a hole.
Thanks everyone.
