I've been struggling with a problem with my 76 TR6. It has developed a sputtering when warmed up and not under heavy acceleration. I would call it hesitation but it has gone far beyond that now. New points, plugs, spark plus wires, coil, air filters, ... I haven't attacked the carbs, yet, as I don't know if I will cause more problems than I'll correct.
In trying to correct, additional questions have surfaced as to the timing and the plug wires. Setting the static at 10' BTDC gives an idling dynamic timing of 2' ATDC, instead of the desired 4' btdc. Is there some adjustment I am missing? Which should I use?
And one last oddity. The #1 cylinder(front) spark plug wire attatches to the innermost post of the distributor - nearest the engine. Bentley's and TRF's diagrams show the #1 attatching to the outside forward post. Is it possible to have the plug wires off 180' on the distributor and still have the car run?
Any help would be appreciated
