@waytoomuchstuff LOL…he focused mostly on pre-war French and German cars and post war Mercedes up through the early 1960’s. He could be forgiven for not wanting to venture into British cars with American iron transplants. Im sure you have fun with your Tiger.

....speaking of 'going off-topic (which I'm shocked hadn't happened earlier...)...

A 'beam Tiger was a hoot to see IRL...

"Cute droptop....is it fu.....WTH!" 

"I guess it is....*LOL*"

Watched an Elan suck the doors off a Stingray 'Vette.... I'd bet the 'Vette owner did some homework to find out WTH that car was....Refrigerator White, innocent as yellow snow..... ;)

The Tiger would have survived if only they'd opted like Shelby to clean slate' the entire car.  The existing frames weren't up to dealing with v8 anything....
...and I'd bet the guys back at the factory weren't amused when putting them together....   

I can't bend my arm that way!"  was likely common....

@waytoomuchstuff ...*L* Nahh, you're quite 'normal' 'bout your Tiger...

...and your 'apparent age' makes you a Perfect 'Sleeper'.
Go gittum'....*nasty L*

...owned a Spitfire for a time....It was nice to be able to sit on a front tire while rolling pushrods on a pane of glass to check for the bent ones.....*S*

Obviously, none of you had the temerity to get one of these and spend so much time fixing, towing and pushing it that you could work on it blind folded:

I took it from stock and added a 1/4 race cam with a 40mm Weber downdraft carb on matching intake manifold from FAZA Racing (run by Al Consentino of Florida). The carb linkage that came with it didn't match so I had it and the stock one cut and welded together so it would work (front half of one and rear of other). Also had the FAZA headers and ran straight pipes out the back.

With over 30 additional HP I terrorized Triumphs, MGs and smaller Porsches out on Mulholland Dr. That Webber was the easiest carb to work on and swapping air and fuel jets took just a few minutes. Everything was tuned by ear. Those simpler days were the best.

All the best,
