I have a 74 TR6 with triple Weber carbs. When I purchased the car, I noticed
that the tube on the vacuum unit on the distributor was sealed shut. I
thought this had something to do with the Weber setup. But, I have always
had hesitation and a flat spot when accelerating.

Last week I had the car in to the mechanic. He noticed this hesitation and
hooked up the vacuum. Well, the opposite happened - the car ran worse. It
seems that the distributor on the car is from a very early TR6 or maybe even
a 250, with a vacuum retard instead of the advance that the later 6s need.

Does this make sense to anyone out there? AND, does anyone have a
distributor for a late model TR6?
