I have the early 175CD carbs on a stock TR6 manifold with no problems and 
it runs very well with 9.5:1 CR and ~S2 cam, much better than the stock 
original carbs.  The only physical change for the 175CD carbs is a slightly 
custom linkage as the linkage rotation direction is reversed.

I have a triple stromberg manifold, etc., and will be trying these carbs 
out on it later in the summer.   I'm not expecting any problems but we 
shall see.
