Hello, New to this site. I've had a "bunch" of triumph's, many years ago, mostly spitfires and 1 TR6. Just got a '73 TR6 project, bought it with no keys, been sitting 15 years ! I pulled the distributor and spun it up to 80 PSI oil pressure for about 2 min. Now I'm trying" to crank it over (Jumped, no key yet) but the Starter will Spin", BUT will not engauge". Thinking solenoid ??? (the kind mounted on top od the starter).
also, I can't remember, will the lights work if the ign key is OFF ? Can the ign Lock be Changed without replacing the whole steering lock mechanism ?? I already got it off the column so the car will steer. Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Welcome to the BCF! You might want to post your car-specific questions in the Triumph forum as this forum is just where you introduce yourself to the group. If you have any specific questions related to your car, it's best to post them over in the applicable forum in your case, Triumph forum.

Cheers,
Basil
 
Welcome to the BCF Lou,

Basil is right. The gang at the Triumph forum here will be able to help you with all sorts of questions specific to your projects. They helped me keep my TR3B on the road for a number of years. And please post photos. We love to see everyone's LBC's.

Enjoy the Ride!
