Is it possible the TR6 came with one of two different distributors? My GT6
has the Delco distributor which only has a vacuum advance, but I think it also
came with the Lucas dist. which had vacuum advance and retard. If I remember
right, the manual only showed the Lucas distributor. When I get ignition parts
I have to make sure I specify the Delco distributor or I end up with the Lucas
parts. I think the Lucas dist. is the more common of the two. BTW, the smog
people passed it no problem.
