Is your engine stock with all emissions equipment in place? What is your timing
set at? I think stock timing is 4 degrees ATDC, at least it was on my 74. When
my TR6 was new, it almost always stumbled when pulling away from a stop. Very
annoying. However, that year the car had a mechanism that would advance the
timing a little bit whenever the engine temperature rose to a certain level. In
my case, whenever the engine got hot, the timing would advance, and then car
would run fine without stumbling. I used that as my excuse to advance the
timing some, and that cured the stumble in my car. If you are at 4 degrees
after, push it up to 4 degrees before and see how it runs.
