"You could also check the differences between Alpines and Tigers for yourself
at any United (the above Maine one, and the West Coast one in June in Santa
Rosa,CA)and compare your car, a known TAC'd quantity, with the others."
The best way to do that is to send a Alpine shell and a Tiger shell through
the stripper and set them on saw horses. Then you can crawl over and under
them and take notes. Or, if you are ever in the Dayton, Ohio area, stop by
Doug Jennings Tiger club house and he will go over the differences. He may
show you a thing or two that TAC doesn't know about. Ask him to show you the
"heart" of a Tiger. If you hear rattling noises while driving, this may be
the cause.
The thing that suprised me is the ad-hoc nature of the Jennings assembly line
back in the day. Its probably due to the "old world craftsmen" method of
work, or too many pints of Guiness at lunch.
