timing up-date
Well, I got back home & played with the timing on my 69 TR6. I did get some vacum to the vacum advance. I started with the Timing at 4 degrees ATDC and advanced to TDC and took a test drive. I did this up to 10 degrees BTDC. The car ran a little better each time I advanced the timing. I finally advanced the timing as much as I could & quit. Getting very late. This morning I drove the car & it performed better than it has since I bought it. I don't know what the timing is set on, but I am going to leave it there until I get more information or help. I did check the spark plugs. They all looked good and were properly gapped. I checked the compression and all cylinders were within 8 psi.(142-150)Yes, I still have the electronic ignition. (refer to hard headed) right now the car performs well and I have not noticed any misfire. I have not done anything to the carberators yet. Thanks for all the previous information and if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know. I hope one day I will be able to help someone else.
