Hi Healey Folks

While I had a '64 AH3000 in college I'm now a TR6 owner.......but....I'm looking for Steve Thomton of Larkspur Colorado. I saw in the May issue of Classic Motorsports that he's converted his Healey to TBI on his 3 carb engine. Having gone through the same conversion on my 2 carb TR6, I'd love to talk to him about how he did it with 3 carbs. The best way for him to reach me is email at 75TR6@tr6.danielsonfamily.org.

Thanks,

Bob

Patton,
Thank you..........I got an email from him tonight. But, what's really weird about this is that the fellow that makes the TBI adapters for all side draft carbs is named Rick PATTON. I used his adapters for my conversion and built his web site (https://www.pattonmachine.com/) Thank you for passing on my request to Steve. There's a bunch of TR6 owners with tri-carbs who would love to go to TBI. Maybe we can learn from what Steve has done.

Steve's setup is really elegant. He has been sending tech updates out for a year and I have been following them closely.

Rick needs to send me a set! I got a later head last month for a onday MegaSquirt setup for my BN4. I am watching with interest Frankenhealey's setup and development here.

At the rate that I am getting things done, it will happen sometime in the 2030's.
