Guys,
I thought I'd post a couple of pics of my winter project. Many more pics: https://www.tidentenn.com/Triumph/CT16xxxL/index.html
I've taken my time, been super clean, measured and weighed, read the Bentley...:smile: Hopefully the end product will show. Primed the oil and finished the distributor install today. Putting it in Friday. Thanks.
Tim

Looks good! That first fire up is very exciting, and very scary at the same time...

Yes nothing like the first fire up, scary then feels really good when it starts to go (hopefully) makes all the right noises. Looks good.

Sha-weet! Absolutely, that first crank is fantastic. Just don't pull what I did and put in the distributor 180 out, despite knowing not to do that - they don't like to fire up that way!
