[6pack] weber carbs

[Keith Meinhold]

It's livable, but overall im not overwhelmed and will likely put my 
175's back on once they are rebuilt.  The best thing is that this is all 
reversible.  I set it up on my '76.  Its pretty simple install and the 
quality is pretty good on all parts except the choke cable.

The instructions were mostly accurate - with one exception of how to 
install the choke cable.  The cable as assembled will not fit through 
the hole (from either direction) as the instructions say.  Its better to 
disassemble the cable where it splits to two cables and reassemble once 
the cable are run through the firewall and the dash.  A simple procedure.

The choke nob looks quite different from the stock TR6, the old nob will 
not fit on the new assembly.  Also the choke does not stay in place - 
eventually slides back in.  Lucky for me in FL choke is not so 
important.  Actually not happy with the choke all around - when pulled 
the hissing/sucking air noise is very pronounced (louder than the 
engine) and choke performance is iffy.  I am beginning to question if 
there is a defect in the choke on one of my carbs.

Linkage is pretty straight forward - but sometimes binds (at slightly 
elevated RPMs) because the moving part of the linkage runs too close the 
the adapter bracket.

Driveability - its harder to drive the car smoothly.  At first I thought 
I just needed to get acquainted to the new setup, but after a few 
months, I know its something different.  It seems that most of the 
throttle happens in the first quarter of pedal travel, making smooth 
application of power is difficult, especially from a dead stop of when 
shifting.

I have a 73' with dead DGVs - and ordered this kit for that car as well. 
Im interested in seeing if its just my 76 or if I get the same results 
on both cars.  I would have tested it, but installing the wiring harness 
is priority on that car.
