Fitting the down draught progressive carbs such as those from the DGV series in place of the 175 Stromberg units seems to have merit, even though it has not been very well received here. By fitting t

Hi Bill, While your analysis of the down draught Webers on a TR-6 makes sense in theory, the problem really lies in the manifold (as you guessed). In my experience, the design of the manifold adaptor

john is correct. fit a pair of su's and be done if you look at the air/fuel path, you enter from the top, pass throught he carb and hit the bottom of the manifold. then a 90 degree turn in each direc

Now we are getting somewhere. As Ted and John say you can't beat a set of SU's. I made the change on my 69 TR6 Many years ago and the car has never run better. A lot of people comment how quiet my en

The reason the setup sounded good to me was having seen such impressive results with a similar arrangement on a Lotus Twin-Cam. After talking with the guy who set it up and made it work, I came to r

Chiming in once more on this one... The DGV's will work. They will not work optimally. The problem is the "toilet trap" adapter that you have to use. These things do not flow very well at all. Anecd

It is hard for me to believe that the DGV's are going to give any measurable performance difference from the type carburetor that is perfect for this application ,adjustable 1 3/4" S.U.'s. -- Origina

I agree completely. Hence the qualifier "for casual street applications". I personally would not recommend the DGV's or any downdraft carb. for the TR6 application. In fact I have tried to get all my
