Mike, I am planning on doing some similar stuff to my car. Too bad you are
so far away, and the Canadian $ is worthless. When you went to triple
Webers, what did you do with the distributor? I have seen references to
getting rid of the vacuum advance when you use Webers. l have also been
told to get a MGB distributor with a vacuum advance (instead of the TR6
retard) and an advance curve of 24 degrees. What did you do with the advance
curve? How much for the Quaife LSD alone?? (I already have 4 rear ends.) Do
you know of any reasonable priced source for same?? Thanks. Stephen
