1966 Vitesse HT Lead Firing Order

Yes!  The problem was that the photo in the Triumph Workshop Manual shows in the picture at the Dynamo end, with the HT leads starting at No1 thro to No6 and in the Owners Handbook the HT leads next to the Dynamo starts at No6 and this threw me a little!  Anyway I had the right sequence!  but the starter motor is a little slow and the engine would not turn over fully?  I then found a small leak at the Adjusting Screw under the Stromberg Carb.

have you disturbed the ht leads  

if you need to confirm where No 1 is 

remove plugs    stick thumb over no1 hole    turn engine slowly till you feel air start to push past thumb

now turn to align TDC markers   , flip dizzy cap and see where the rotor points ...thats where no1 lead needs to fit

I'd take 38 for sure!

I'm all good.
Feargal is being a right pain in the bum at the moment though. I'll post on my own thread all about it
