[TR] Waking the slumbering beast

[Brad Kahler]

Greg,

This is my first real exposure to Stromberg carburetors.  I owned a couple
of TR6s 35+ years ago but never had to work on the carbs so this should be
an eye opening experience :)

I'm planning a full rebuild of the Strombergs so even if it runs crappy I
should at least have an idea of what I've got on my hands.  I have no plans
to try and drive the car until next spring.  I need to go through the
brakes and clutch hydraulics and I noticed yesterday that the rubber boots
on the ball joints and tie-rod ends are gone so a front suspension rebuild
will also take place this winter.

Thanks!

Brad
