Re: Group 44 Gt6 - For Sale - Buyer Be Very Beware

["kas kastner" <kaskas@cox.net>]

Both the Group 44 cars and my cars (GT-6) were fitted with 1.5" Stromberg
carburetors.  After 1972 I cannot account for the groups car  but I don't
think that they ran it any other way.  That was the only carburetion allowed
by the SCCA. I never ran a GT-6 after 1972. It was never fuel injected or
fitted with Webers. The only Triumphs I did that were exceptions were the
TR250K and  my Vitesse which did have Webers.The only injected cars were the
TR-250 and the TR-6.

  Good luck Tim.  Hope it pans out.

  Kas, would this car have had PI?  If so, would it have had your
  modifications to the fuel cam on the metering unit?  Charly Mitchel,
  Jeff Durant and myself are trying to work with Greg Lund to remake that
  unit so our PI cars will not have to rely on vacuum or standard Lucas
  snail cams to meter the fuel.

  Thanks,
  Chuck
