Hello everybody! I usually post on the MG forum as I own 4 MGBs. Well, I just picked up a 72 TR6 on sunday, towed it home on Tuesday and began a new addiction-TRs. I owned a 71 TR6 back in '73, what a great car. This car has been sitting under a carcover and under a carport in Kentucky for ten years. Before buying, I oiled the cylinders, borrowed a battery and turned her over afew times and took a compression test--good engine. Today I put in a battery, sprayed a wisp of ether in each carb and she fired up. All guages worked, I slipped her into first and it moved forward. Hey, the brakes even worked. It moved under her own power to the end of the drive way and back. This not the end of the story, it's my intro to the bcf's triumph forum. I have pretty good mechanical/troubleshooting skills but fall short of a know-it-all by a long shot. I do appreciate the people I've met here and they're knowledge has been most valuable in maintaining my MG's. I hope to be a big part of this forum for years to come. I've already made a three page list of "goodies" and am going to need plenty of help, first on the list is to get the overdrive working. Look forward to meeting ya'll, Bob
