Bob,
I got my Posidrive screwdrivers from Sears. It was a set of 3 sizes of
posi bits to fit into a standard screwdriver handle. They were much
cheaper than full sized screwdrivers and are great for occasional use.

>Hi Fellow lisTeRs & 6Packers:
> As a member of New England Triumph. I have the opportunity to attend
>(Saturday) a club sponsored "tech session" on Rebuilding carburetors.
>The offering shop is Tally Ho Melrose Ma.! I will be allowed to bring my
>carbs from my 76 TR6. (Thanks Bob Lang).
> In anticipation of this session I have ordered a "master rebuild
>kit" (Moss). Before I placed my order, I was told by a friend to order
>Gross Jets? I talked to a couple suppliers that recommended that I stay
>away from these gross jets.
> My question is. Why do two people recommend them. Then two supply
>houses say "stay away". Is there a coincidence that these two supply
>houses do not stock gross jets?
> What is the real deal?
>Also part of my carb rebuild, I wanted to finish what age & the PO had
>started. I have a bad air distribution rail, air pump and missing
>emission stuff. (Maintaining the charcoal filter canister & hoses).
>Rather than to replace the costly rusty air rail can I,
>A: simply remove the air distribution rail? Air pump is already gone.
> If so I would like to fill the threaded holes in the exhaust
>manifold. I would like to use a allen head type of plug. Any one done
>this? If so, do you know the thread size?
>B: Can I also remove the EGR valve?
> If so is it just a simply plug at the block and the Intake manifold?

> What do I do with the small vacuum line that runs from the rear
>carb. to the EGR valve.
> Should I anticipate problems with this plan?
>C: Where can I purchase a "Posidrive" Screwdriver for the ZS carbs?

> Also Andy/Jonmac & Co. E-mail me off list. I will fill you in on the
>GT6 Comm # and ect ect... I have the 73 GT6 home now. Appears to just
>need some love. Still looking for the crazy "D". I will be applying my
>new carb. knowledge to the GT6 also.
