I would like to take an unscientific poll of the TR6 owners (or other TRers)
on the list as to the orientation of your distributor. I am dealing with a
long time issue that has never caused enough concern to hinder my driving
fun but after thinking more about it, I am not sure if it may be something I
need to address.
When looking at your distributor from the driver's side of the engine bay,
what position does your advance/retard (if you have one) point in
orientation to your engine block? Mine is pointing almost to my headlamp
bucket, about as retarded as you can go. I have seen pictures of other
6s/TRs set up this way but have also seen as many or even more that seem to
run more parallel to the block. I seem to have to have mine in this
position to hit the timing mark, which does not seem correct. I have had
discussions of the distributor being off a tooth on my drive gear or am over
compensating with my idle screw setting.
So what do you all say? TIA
