    Here you go Tony rebuilt my Gearbox and added overdrive then rebuilt my diff, here's the details I have for him, tony@kingstonsportscars.co.uk 01359 269777‬ he is a bit slow in responding, I used to turn up on his door step

    Coil voltage

    Guppy916 replied to Guppy916's topic in Electrical

    I hope so, my first coil after the rebuild only lasted 50 miles the second one about 75 miles then with alot of sorting I found that the company i used for my new loom sent a Ballasted loom, so i ran a new wire from the fuse box (the white one) so i now have 12volts at the coil, they were both so hot I almost lost skin when changing them. perhaps i'm just being paranoid now

    I also used https://www.facebook.com/HHignitionsolutions for my Mk3 GT6 they rebuilt my Delco unit and convetted it to electronic at a very sensible cost

    Coil voltage

    Guppy916 replied to Guppy916's topic in Electrical

    Glang, after a 3-4 mile run around town, the volts have settled down around 13.8 - 14.5 from 800 to 3000 rpm, the coil is quite hot but you can hold onto it

    I used https://www.speedycables.com to repair my GT6 speedo, a quick turn around and good price

    Hi guys I have just noticed that I have 14.5 volts at my Positive Terminal on the coil, could this be why I keep burning out coils, it's on a 1973 GT6 Mk3 Non Ballasted system

    Check the cable length is it 48" or 57" or even 60" https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GSD111 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GSD115 https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GSD117

    I cut two inspection holes in my GT6 Tunnel, it makes topping up the gearbox oil and the speedo take off very easy they are fixed with two duzes fixings
  23. Guppy916
    Here's a close up of my set up, I was lucky with my rocker cover style, I took a 1mm drill and drilled just through the raised rib on the top for the spring return, and your connecting arm I cut a slot for the cable to drop through with a soldered on fitting to locate in the hole, and another 1mm hole just below for the return spring.

    snap iani, I was lucky when sorting out my 40's I have a friend with two TR6's running on 40's, so i was able to mix and match jets to get mine drivable, then it went to Airey Tuning, I took one car in and came away with a different one, what a difference he made, Mine is a 2.5 I notice that your rocker cover is not angled at the front, I couldn't drop my engine any lower the rocker cover used to touch the bonnet http://aireytuning.com
