I'm really liking THIS series! You're covering all the basic diagnostic steps here! By the time you're done, no one will know this car and its quirks better than you...except...for all those folks who watch these videos. A lot of teaching moments here! I always thought Triumphs had cross-flow heads. You always see Brits in old car documentaries gassing on about cross-flow designs in Italian inline-4s and such. I thought, from what they'd said, that most British engines were cross-flows. Ah...nope... In contrast...my Dad's Anglia 100E was a...side-valve. (Cue the sound of a sad trombone...) Looking forward to more of this! Aloha!
really good. lookin forward to the test ride. i can see why you've stopped driving the chev pickup. gasoline costs. i hope you keep the spitfire. lowered with some rota rims... twin hoop roll bars.... she's a looker.
@@bluesxt -- this is insane. given new coil and distributor, you may as well check the resistance on the ignition wires. if you have resister plugs and suppression ignition wires it can play havoc like this. only use one or the other, not both - if that's the case. the weber dgv uses 3 lbs maximum fuel pressure. could it be the fuel pressure regulator?

@@nickyalousakis3851 confirmed I’m getting 3psi of fuel pressure to the carb consistently
