        You will want the butterflies fully open when the pedal is fully
depressed.
On my car, that meant that the gas pedal was further off the floor than
a I really
like, but you get used to it.

I am in the process of replacing some worn parts in the carb linkage on
the 
TR6. I noticed that the butterflies do not fully open when the pedal is
fully 
depressed. Is this correct or do I need to make adjustments?  I am
following 
Bentley's specs on the lengths of the horizontal and vertical rods.
Right now  
the butterflies open half way.
By the way I had posted recently about an electrical problem that had me

totally baffled. I finally found  that I had a short in the dimmer
switch.
