I'd check the fuel filter. It could be clogged with crud, stopping fuel
flow. Then after the car sits, it settles, allowing you to drive again -
for a while.

Mark,
Are you certain that "all" your mechanic friend did was set the timing?
There must be some logical reason why this seemed to have solved the
problem for a few days.
If so, I would look carefully at the distributor
Does it have the original points style distributor?

Listers,
My car ('74 TR6) started acting funny (missing, backfiring and just
sounding
bogged down) shortly after I got it back to Hawaii. I had a mechanic
friend
come over and he adjusted the timing and all was fine for a day or so
and it
started back up again.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Mahalo,
Mark Bullard
'74 TR6 (that's asking why she was brought all the way to Hawaii to sit
in
the garage)
