Roger -
I have installed Murph's kit (ersatz Audiovox) on a couple of cars and it
works great. I did not add a vacuum canister (though one car already had
one for the brake booster).
Alas, neither was a TR but if I were doing one on the TR4 I think I'd look
at the ball on the lever on the cross shaft meets the back end of the long
link rod (near the firewall).

I have seen articles for installing both, but on carbs with a cable <br>
linkage but none with the throttle linkage like the early TRs.<br>
<br>
Has anyone installed on or the other on a TR250, TR4, etc that has the <br>
rods, levers, bell crank arrangement? If so, how did you make the <br>
connection?<br>
