[6pack] FW: carb float settings?

[George Loriot]

Listers,
I'm trying to send this again - without the original posting embedded - it
bounced (twice) on size.  I'm the guy who was going mad, since neither
ignition nor gas changes kept the car from sputtering.  It's running well now,
thanks to all who replied.
It seems to me that a 3K size limit for email is mighty small.

Thanks to everyone with suggestions to prevent me from going mad.  it finally
worked, and I'm very grateful to all members of this terrific list.  The
question was: Lucas or Zenith?  Turns out to be a little of each!
Adjusting the distributor rotor drive gear by one tooth fixed the need to
juggle caps/rotors and timing, but there was still misfiring when warm - due
to tiny particles in the gas clogging up the (new and old) carb needles.
Cleaning, extra filters, and resetting needles fixed that, at least for now.
I suspect I'll need to go all the way back to the gas tank for complete fix.
Sounds like a winter project.
Thanks again to all listers who came to the rescue.  George Loriot1976 TR6
