Jack,
I've got a '74 TR6 and my piston jet needles have the o-ring your talking
about. I' guessing its a stock feature to hold the jet needles off the the
fuel nozzel. I left mine in place and set them to be flush with the bottom of
the piston(so the needle base is slightly recessed. I've not gone back and
adjusted my carbs since as the car runs fine(above 60 degrees) at this mixture
setting.
