Take a look at this carb, which is the rear one on my car. Can you see what is wrong?
The '72-73 TR6 have a vacuum driven ignition retard feature that would kick in on high temperature. The vacuum tap came off the rear carb, you can see the pipe in the top of the picture.
What is missing is they did not drill the hole through the body into the throat. I always thought my car never hit the point where the ignition retard feature would kick in, but now I know it was not because the condition to activate it ever happened.
Not that I miss or had a problem without it, I had to laugh at all the times I looked for a vacuum leak there.
