Here's my third attempt to get this out; sorry if it repeats...
Dear Listers,
Hi! I have a 1975 TR6. We got it three years ago so I could learn how to fix
cars (bought a british car for this, go figure...).
A little engine background on it:
PO's work: Head has been milled to 10:1 CR, S2 cam, Weber downdrafts, Monza
dual-exhaust, header. All emissions stuff was removed.
Our work: Crane XR-3000 Ignition, Crane PS-92 coil, Crane FireWires,
electric fan. The rest of the engine is stock.
The distributor is original for the car (except for the new Crane stuff we
put in); it only has a vacuum retard thingie on it and it is not hooked up.
What I'm wondering is should we hook the vacuum retard back up, and how do
we do that? I think the early tr6 distributors had both a retard and an
advance on them, the PI models had the vacuum advance only, and the late
tr6's had just the retard. Has anyone ever tried swapping a late distributor
with an early one or a PI distributor?
We live in Northwest PA, so smog checks are of no concern. It makes sense to
me that the car would run better if some of these hoses were hooked back up.
Thanks!
