Bill,

Nuts, I hope it's not the coils, as I was thinking these transplants
were relatively new (see my previous posts about using Edwins old pack).

When a coild goes, foes it go progressively, or is all or nothing, at
least with regard to the blowing fuse symptom?  When my old coils (the
ones that really were old, bout 115,000 miles on them) went they
stumbled but they didn't blow fuses, least I don't remeber them doing
this.

Maybe it's time to put my old (10k mile) pack back on. Edwins red head
looks oh so pretty though, DAMN.

This is startng to be like the old days when I had my TR-6 (Do you do
this with your TR-3 Paulie), I'd carry around all sorts of spare parts
in the trunk---just in case.  Ms Piggy has quite alot of room in the
back of the wagon for all those extra's, even a spare tranny I suppose.
Have you had occasion to remove your tranny recently Sr. Baloney?

Senor Manuel-

Sorry to hear of your fuse woes.  When I popped mine it was due to my
Tom Pollock Industries loaned coil cover and packs and their glorious
hockey taped wires under the coil cover-to-valve-cover junction.  Frayed
wire = blown fuse.  And when me coils failed, they were very
progressive.  First at 18psi max, then 15, then 10.  POS was more
immediate, intermittent but full-on failure, just on and off until
finally off.  HTH.

NEGATIVE on the TR3 and spare parts.  TR3 is like Amex - Don't Leave
Home Without It...  "it" meaning cell phone and AAA card.  I've drawn a
100 mile circle around my house - that's as far as I'll take it.  Been
pretty good in recent years knock woodrow, since getting stuck in VT on
our 2nd anniversary and being flat bedded home.  How romantic.

I try to refrain from carrying parts around in trunks.  See within 2
milliseconds I forget they're their then do Ferris Buelleresque airborne
maneuvers and what lies back there makes nice little (or big) dents in
the fenders.  "Hey how'd you get them reverse door dings anyway???"
Ummmm.  Ask Rossato about picking up my 6spd from Uncle Bob's.  That
left a mark.

Good luck!

You finish forging all that water out of Wifely's UrS8 yet?  Hope yer
swell otherwise!
