[TR] TR3 Carbs

[Bill]

I have to agree with Bill ... but am wondering what he means by 
"problematic choke assemblies"
Never had any problem, with them, but then I agree with the Author of 
"How to repair your Foreign Car" when he states "Carburetor, a French 
word for DO NOT TOUCH" ;-)

One quick note on TR3 intake manifolds, and there are several but 
fall into two (mostly) categories ... straight balance tube, and 
"humped" balance tube.  When I put headers on Casper I had to switch 
to the humped one (with no hole for vacuum something) fit fine, 
except there was no room for a front air filter, so I modified a 
skinny one (cut two inches off the bottom) and all was well ... I 
belive any TR3/4 manifold will fit ... you just need to adapt to your 
needs and/or desires ...
