TR6 Vacuum Retard (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 08 May 1997 13:52:24 -0500; Is anyone aware of an inexpensive source (i.e. less expensive than the 'big three') for the vacuum retard unit for a 74 TR6 distributor?

14. Re: TR6 vacuum retard (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 8 Mar 1997 09:03:11 -0700; Why would you want to retard the engine. This is the number one thing that robs power. A unhooked vacuum line to the distributor will not cause any damage, just lower your idle a little bit. Aaron Jo; /html/triumphs/1997-03/msg00491.html (7,368 bytes)
