UPDATE: Well what Kanter sent me (and I installed) was the RH18Y plugs, so I going to presume these are merely resistor plugs and that all will be well.
Next on tap: putting the valve covers back on, then the new wires, finally get into the distributor. Moving along slowly but surely!

Thanks JWL, was wondering what kinds of plugs you are using also, I got mine from Kanter, ended up being Y18's (Champion), I suppose the H10's are long obsolete. They (Y18's) are a bit "taller", the electrodes add about 3/8" onto the threaded length, I suppose this is no issue at all. Never been a fan of Champions, yours look like AUTOLITE?
Noticed also that you have the linkages off from the carb, probably to facilitate getting at the distributor for the tune up...I am assuming.
Most of all thanks for the response, it is nice to see someone actually is active in this discussion yet !!!

Thank you Mal. I will certainly do just that now!
The Triumph is indeed the British sports car, I bought it back in '18, runs great looks pretty nice too.

I have been searching online for a wire set for my 55 Clipper, and seems to me that the 90 degree ends will not really work out too well, even though they are saying it's a perfect fit for the application. Ideas anyone?
