I wonder who will get my cars when I'm gone.
The Tr2 will have electric fan, electronic ignition and disc brakes. There
is a wooden crate with the front drums, balanced fan assembly, and loaded
distributor. I rebuilt and rebushed the carbs, they will likely outlive the
next owner...
The Tr4 has the same with the addition of a chevy alternator and neg ground
conversion. A similar box (with notes) awaits the next owner. I had Webers
on the 4, but recently got Joe Curto to rebush the original carbs, so they
are back and I didn't see much difference last time I did laps at VIR.
These are fine running cars the way they are, but must say I don't mind not
messing with point adjustments....
