I just got my 1957 TR3 back from its annual check up by a local mechanic. He
told me that I need the following:
1) carb jet needles. I have original SU carbs. What kind of needles should I
buy? What do I need to do to install needles? Are they available at TRF, Moss,
etc?
2) distributor. he says that the one ont he car has rounded off and is
difficult if not impossible to set the timing. It seems to run OK, but is a
little inconsistent. Are new distributors still available for a '57 TR3 or
should I look for a used one? Would a used one have the same problem as the
one I have now? The mechanic said that at the very least I will need vac
advance and centrifical advance springs.
