Hello, I owned several British cars as a teenager and sold my last one, a 71 TR6, in 1976. It was a low mileage beauty with overdrive. Fast forward to early Dec 2005 and a serviceable 74 TR6 is the object of my affection once again. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif The first of many questions to come is about the Kent Cam the previous owner installed. The part # is TH2-6 It has quite a bit of duration 295* but not as much lift as some other aftermarket cams I have seen. I was just curious what kind of idle I should expect with this cam. I'm still working all of the bugs out of the car and have only had it running for short periods of time. It sounds Great! but doesn't want to idle right off. I haven't had it running long enough to get up to running temp, or check for vacuum leaks.
Does anybody have an opinion on the vacuum spark retard as far as the idle is concerned? I read somewhere that when you use it you get a really smooth low rpm idle, but that was with the stock cam. Well I'm getting long........ Hello everybody!
