Just purchased an 80 Spit a few weeks and new to the list. It's an original car, right down to the tires, with 31K on the clock. I've owned a TR3A for the past 20 years and have been active on the "other" TR list for quite some time. Hoping to be able to contribute and add my .02 here in awhile, once I get my bearings straight.
Question1. I'm detailing under the bonnet and have removed the "splash guards" and noticed a white female connector that was taped up. It's opposite the distributor and has white, white and blue, and white and gray (slate) wires attached. It's off the main harness and about 6-8" long. I can't seem to find out it's purpose? Car doesn't have OD. Question 2: There a green and black lead with a female connector that was wrapped around the steering column up near the wheel. When unwrapping it I apparently grounded it out, a buzzer went off, no key in ignition, door was open? Any thoughts, not sure where it goes, and why it's there. Question 3: The handbrake warning light is out. I replaced the bulb, still out. Does the switch go bad, and is it humanly possible to get to it? Also last one, fuel gauge reads 3/4 after filling, I'm assuming that I may have a small leak in the float? The temp gauge reads fine, so I don't believe it's the stabilizer, but I may be wrong? Appreciate the help.
