[6pack] Su needles for TR6

Hi,
 
Been awhile since I've posted.
 
About 15 years ago I converted to HS6 SU's.  They came set up for  TR6 by 
Ted Schumacher with ZH needles (from Volvo 122S, I think) and  red springs 
and that's worked fine for me.  My engine has stock cam,  intake manifold 
reworked a la Kastner's performance manual, ported and  cc'd head, +.020 
cylinders, tube header and free flow exhaust.
 
A few years later I helped a pal install an SU conversion sourced from  Joe 
Curto of NYC, who is one of the best on constant depression carbs. Don't  
know what he might be using now, but on that setup he used the stock needles 
for  the HD SU on the Austin Healey 3000, Mk III. Can't remember what 
springs were  used.  This TR6 was bone stock. They worked just fine.
