[6pack] 3 carbs

[Bob Danielson]

Then this 60 year old wuss is at the other end of the spectrum. I use my car
like a daily driver except in weather extremes....that's the wuss part. Fuel
economy and reliability are very important to me. That's why I went the TBI
route last year and added a 5 speed this year.

Well, I say, "What's the point?" For most of us these cars are toys that are
driven occasionally as opposed to daily drivers. In my youth I drove my
first TR6 600 miles in a day in 95 degree head. At age 52 I'd never even
contemplate such a feat. (Yes, I'm whimpy old white guy!) For me, my car is
for enjoyment and tinkering to see how much more zip I can get out of it.
Fuel economy is not part of that equation.
 
No disrespect meant. Just responding to your query, bro'!

List
 
A few of at our bi-weekly breakfast today were talking of gas economy for
the stock TR6.
 
Is there any advantage, from an economy stand point, to use the 1.5  carbs
from the GT 6 on  a 3 carb manifold? 
 
Having the runners
straighter and putting less and more precise amounts of fuel into each
cylinder should help economy on a stock engine.
 
What say you all?
