[TR] First run, big smie and question

[G.D. Huggins]

Congrats John.

I just got a restored 1965 TR4A back on the road last September, here in Fort
Worth, Texas.
Your oil pressure settings look close to mine, maybe even a little higher.

I played with mixture/timing for about six months before I reached a "good
enough" abandonment point.

Enjoy!!
