Gee, apparently I seem to have established a reputation as giving
responses that are "too technical!" I'll see what I can do here...
Anyway, I have no idea of the history of my car (CF27535, Sept 1974)
before the prior owner. As such, what is in the car may be original, it
may be a DPO bodge, or a combination of the two.
The thermostatic switch on my car contains four ports, arranged in
approximately the following fashion: (the letters appear on the switch,
the asterisks (*) mark where the ports are.)
|----------------------|
| M C D |
| |
| * * |
| * |
| * |
| |
| FI |
|----------------------|
There are no other notations or model number identifiers on the switch,
except for the leters "HRD" on the opposite side of the switch.
Here is how the ports on my car are wired:
M -- This connects to the lower part of the front carb right
next to the intake manifold. (Mine is connected directly,
I presume that there should be an inline fuel trap, since
a fuel trap is shown in the diagrams on pages 25 and 45 of
the 1974 TR6 owners handbook. Does anybody know what the
fuel trap is supposed to do? Am I risking harm to something
without it in place?)
C -- This connects to a tee connector which in turn is connected
to the bypass valves on both carbs. (As with the above
connection, I have no fuel trap, but presume one should be
in place.)
D -- This is connected directly to the vacuum retard on the
distributor.
FI -- This connection is capped off on the thermostatic switch.
As I mentioned above, schematic diagrams of the above connections can be
seen on pages 25 & 45 of the 1974 TR6 owners handbook. This is the small
5" x 7" glovebox handbook that would have come with the car when new.
