Recently bought a customers '71 TR6. He had added some (so called
performance items) headers, lrg dia exhaust, poly bushings, and tube
shocks after I'd rebuilt the engine with a "fast road cam". He
subsequently fell in love with a 410 420? Jag sedan and having never
rebuilt the TR's carbs was unhappy with the car...and needed money for
his jag purchase.. I rebuilt the carbs and that made it a decent
driver, but the distributor was holding the engine back..sooo, I drilled
out the distributor to accept the adjustable vacuum advance unit from a
MG dist.. (25D). I now get 33 degrees total at 8 degrees initial. Added
some real life to the engine.. What have others done? Pertronix and 123
distributors notwithstanding.. daveP
