Paul :
The issue with the Webers is not that they don't "create enough vacuum",
but rather they do not have the vacuum advance port. Most TR6
distributors don't have vacuum advance anyway, but if yours does, you
can simply leave it disconnected.
Or, as another alternative, one of the local club members suggested
using a microswitch attached to the throttle linkage, to control a
vacuum solenoid (GM cars used to use these to eliminate vacuum advance
in lower gears), to gate manifold vacuum into the vacuum advance. The
result is better part throttle performance, less overheating, and better
(roughly 10%) gas mileage. The switch/solenoid is used to prevent
vacuum from being applied to the advance at idle. Make sure you don't
hook up the retard by mistake ! <g>
