OK - that man has earned his stripes, despite it not being a real Stag engine.....:P

Any others?

But I thought the straight six was the real Stag engine as that was the engine thatTriumph specified when the car was designed. Only later was the decision made to use a V8. No worries, I knowI have the correct engine, you V8 guys should not feel inferior.

No angry mob knocking at my door at 5:00 in the morning.

No one throwing rotton fruit at me when I walk down the road.

No Fatwa issued.

I am suprised.

Don - if you have to have the wrong engine, that's the one to have

The Triumph six pot, especially with the PI system is a glorious beast to drive - I loved both of my 2.5PIs and my brothers TR6 (150hp lump).

At least your car is still a Triumph, and not a Buick or Ford.

Sorry to repeat myself.
It is not me that has the wrong engine !!!

Dave I went to the Dovecote today on the chance of meeting you, a few big yank cars, a Sheriff and a Shelby mustang did you make it?
Also passed a dark blue stag just the other side of Newark.

Hi Andrew, was late leaving the autojumble at Newark, sorry I missed you at the Dovecote, only a couple of yank motors left when I got there. Only saw a couple of other Stags at the jumble, a magenta one that belongs to Seb of DOA Stags and a red onebutI didnt get chance to speak to the owner.

A little trick I used to do after tuning 6 cylinder Rover engines, but it works on Stags too........as proved this afternoon......

Russ,
when you told me I didnt have the right bits and pieces to try tuning the Stag, this wasnt what I had in mind.....:shock:

remarkably, after a little bit of TLC and minor servicing,I was able to balance one for the time it took to switch on my phone camera and a further 4 or 5 seconds!

Impressive! Not sure if mine will do it but I'm intrigued now so I'll have to find out. As regards the 2.5PI - I wish mine would idle that smoothly, it shakes all over the place at the moment!(although smooth once revving).

Your right Graham especially after all the trouble I had trying to get the carbs set correctly so that it would go through the MOT the other week!!!
