Hello Brian,
the two rear most pipes on the M.U., (banjo connections), are 2 forward and 5 rear, 1 and 6 then on top, 3 and 4 on the outside all lower numbers being to the front, hope that is clear enough?
 
regards,
Alec

Hello Alec
Thanks for that, I understand what you mean. I just need to put the throttle bodies and linkage on now and the job is done. I hope that it all works!! Hope fully the car will then run as it should; I find it a bit sluggish on carbs.
Thanks again

Hello Brian,
just setting up the throttle linkage, checking timing (injector) and maybe fuel pressure. If you need some assistance, I may be able to help being fairly close to you (Oswestry) .
good luck,
Alec

Hello Alec
Thanks for that kind offer but I think I\'m OK at the moment. I\'ve just run it as a PI for the first time and it sounds great! I haven\'t tuned it yet but I hope to spend some time on it tomorrow evening. Do you know where I can get a choke cable from?
Thanks again,

Hello again Alec!
I wondered if a TR6 cable would do the job - thanks. I just need to adjust the throttle linkages now to get it running slowly, I have a feeling that I may need to renew the spindle in the rear one. I\'ll have a play at the weekend and see what happens.
Regards
Brian

Hello Brian,
good luck with the linkages, I made my own up as I found the Triumph ones such a hassle. At least you have Prestige Injection on your doorstep if you need parts.

Hello Alec
I\'ve bought a Prestige linkage which seems very good and much better thatn the Triumph job! I\'ve got it idling at 800rpm now and when I put the Colourtune plug in the flame is blue, so I\'m really pleased. I\'ll try it down the road tomorrow and see what happens.
Regards,
