I know if I searched thru archives probably eventually find these ? but it is that time of the year to review these ?s
1970 TR6 pert EI
1.spark plugs. what's everyone using this year? good & bad. Gap? I'm going to try .040 with bosch 4216's Pertronix EI (yes I do keep old points in boot just in case).
2.Timing seems like just about 20 BTDC seems to be happy place. I time with both advance & retard connected. I know some disconnect, why?
3. Using Valvoline 10W30 this year from 20W50 seem to get more reasonable oil pressure, was too high before. now in 70's most of time. Seemed like valvoline had the most of the good stuff per a web article. no it wasn't the valvoline web site : )
4. My strombergs still a little quirky. More rich than I'd like trying ATF in dampers for better response.
5. Choke. book says set with a 5/16 rod between cam and choke to set choke screw. seems too far out for my car. anyone else find this setting off?
6. Using sta lube 85W90 GL4 in gearbox with A O/D this tear seems a little smoother than engine oil. was the only GL4 I could find (Napa)
appreciate any comments on what's working or not working on setups tha year.
