Their site says "Triumph-owners should check if they need a connection for a
mechanical rev.counter, as a 123\GB does not offer this." which to me says
that there's no mechanical tach connection. I also saw a few guys with these
at VTR and they had converted to an electronic tach. But everyone I've
talked to who has one loves them. I was considering one before going the TBI
route and my distributor is now the stock pedestal, a custom mounting plate,
Chrysler electronics and a Jeep cap! Not very original at all....LOL

Are you sure about that?  I have looked at these a little.  It looks as if
they are a LITERAL drop-in replacement.  Admittedly, I was looking at one
that would fit the TR4A, however.

It looks as if they will fit in the original distributor pedastal, which on
the TR2-4A (at least) engines has the tach drive in the pedastal.

It looks as if the original tach drive would still work on my car.  Not so
on the TR6?

Other than offering variable amounts of total advance, and being NEW not
worn out, it does not seem to be all that much better than a more standard
style distributor with an aftermarket electronic ignition.

The installation instructions are not very thorough.  The description of the
vacuum advance functions is sketchy.  The manual does not clearly chart the
advance curve.  Neither the vacuum advance curve, nor the "mechanical
advance" curve of the electronic advance unit.  I would be more comfortable
with more info.
