An e-mail acquaintance of mine, who recently purchased a 1973 TR6 is having
the following difficulty with it:

He's had a mechanic in Knoxville, TN do a tune-up on the car, which
included installing an electronic ignition and sealing up some apparently
pretty bad exhaust leaks.
Can anyone here offer some suggestions?
Thank you.
Oh, and if it isn't too much trouble, you could send a reply via e-mail to

Or, just reply to the list and I'll forward it to him. I'll try to
convince him to join the list!
