I've recently purchased a 73 TR6 that has been garaged for many years. In
preparation to start it up, I'm doing and replacing all of the recommended
stuff.
I've got a question, though, about the thermostatic switch that is placed
in the top radiator hose. I can see from Bentley's workshop manual that
there are two vacuum pipes that should be atached to this valve. I also can
see that one should be atached to the rear carb. Due to a PO, however,
there are no lines attached at the moment.
Here's my questions:
1. what does the switch do and what should the vacuum pipes be attached to?
2. should these be hooked up to run the car at length? In other words, is
it mechanically and environmentally correct to fix this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS-thanks to all who replied to my recent "test" message. All is working well.
