We found a hole that worked, but I don't recall which one.  I had to cut one
of the brackets tho, to make it fit on my TR3A.

Normally, keep it.  For a 69 TR6, you'll need it to retain the vacuum
advance/retard operation.  Don't forget that it moves both ways, so there
needs to be some slack in the wires.

Right.  Check out "Optical Trigger Adjustment Procedure" starting on page 13
of the Crane instructions (unless they've been updated from the 10/2000
version on my hard drive).
