>Tony and Jeff,
>An excellent TR distributor restorer is Bob Samara (his advert in VTR mag) or

>recommending to my brother Dave.
>He restored Dave's TR4-A dizzy and vacuum (last year) and they came out great

>'before' & 'after'. Dave says his motor runs beautifully. I think it was under

>Can't recall exact car you were talking about - but if it's TR4 thru TR4A,

>But for that price, it might not be bad to order one then look at it.
