I helped a friend put one in a 73 TR6, does that count ?

No. But their catalog may be a misprint.

My understanding is 'No'. The Motorcraft is more common (A/C wasn't a real
popular option) and mounts differently, with different brackets bolted to
the same engine. The Delco is likely a replacement for the Motorcraft, and
won't fit a TR6 either.

Drag your Lucas down to the store with you. Take it off in the parking lot
if you have to. Then compare it to the unit they have in stock. My guess
is that the mounting points will be noticeably different, as will the
connector.
