Richard,
Not easy! I started with an ex-US carby car for a total rebuild and
bought all the Injection bits from an old sedan and used a mates TR5
as the model to copy from. Things to watch include
1. the linkages need to shortened and rotated on the shaft - means
grinding off the old weld and re welding in the right position.
2. you need new fuel lines - I started with the plastic stuff but
ended up replacing it with steel - you also need to run a return line
to the tank.
3. you need to modify the petrol tank to accept the return line.
4. if you don't have baffles in the fuel tank you may need to have a
surge tank fitted to stop the pump cavitating on corners.
5. you'll need to have the metering unit modified as the TR6 is
lighter than the Sedan and has a different fuel curve.
6. you'll need to fabricate a bracket for the air cleaner element to
fit beside and in front of the radiator.
7. you'll need the different distributor pedestal to take the
metering unit (should get that from the Sedan)
8. you'll need to get the injectors serviced/replaced to ensure they
don't let air in while you set it up.
9. once together, you'll need to spend a bit of time 'bleeding' the
air from the system
10. for greater reliability, think about fitting a Bosch pump.
11. And don't forget to fit a 'cut-out' switch for the electric pump
- just incase of accidents - you don't want to be pumping fuel all
over the place!
If you've got all the bits, it's really not that hard to do and gives
instant power gains - about 20hp. Happy to give more info on
specifics if you want.

Have you converted your TR6 to fuel injection? If so, what information
can you give me on the conversion.
Thank you.
