Bill,

The voltage stabilizer is standard equipment on TR4 and up but not on the 3.

I did install a 4 version on my 3 because I use the TR4 temperature sender and 
gauge. My fuel sensor and gauge are stock TR3 and do not use the stabilizer.

If you think you need a stabilizer, look at the TR4 wiring diagram in order to 
get instructions on wiring but I think you would need a TR4 fuel gauge.
