SOURCE: 1972 Triumph Spitfire 4 Transmission lubrication for 4 speed standard with overdrive

I have a 1973 Triumph GT6 The Gearbox is the same except it has different ratios. The best oil I have found to use is Castrol Multitrax 80/140 with 10% moreys additive.(no additive with overdrive)

SOURCE: 1972 Triumph Spitfire, 3rd gear grinding

Jumping out of third was a common problem with the Spitfire quick changing up from forth gear would beat the syncro and chip the teeth on the drive dog then the bits would stop the syncro from engaging fully and it would jump out. If you replaced the syncro and the drive hub it may just be a bit stiff, the selector also wore quite quickly and misaligned the drive hub causing it to be hard to select.
I will scratch about in my very old manuals and see if I can find the spitfire gearbox manual, If I can I will post it.

Where are the timing marks on a triumph herald 13/60
Timing marks on Triumphs are always (at least for the Herald-based cars-Herald, Vitesse, Spitfire & GT6) on the crankshaft pulley. There is a "pointer", a small triangle of sheet metal tack-welded to the timing chain cover, that acts as the reference point for your timing light.

Are there two different spark plug sizes for a 1965 spitfire mk2?
I believe that these are heat ranges. One for touring and one for city driving. The touring plugs run cooler. Someone could have put the hot plugs because of oil fouling. Another option ( I raced a 65, ) is to go with platinum plugs. More expensive but last forever and can run a hotter heat range so no fouling.

Fh41825he engine number what cc
The F series engines are from Triumph Spitfires. FH is a 1300cc engine (1296cc) from a Spitfire Mk4. I can't remember if it's a small crank journal engine like the Herald 13/60 GE engine (good) or a large crank (not as good).
