In the FWIW dept, I'm running the older Stromberg 175CDs from the early 
TR4s with the adjustable jets on my TR6.  The linkage is different since 
the butterfly rotates in the opposite direction but this isn't too 
difficult to work out.  The car is much quicker than with the normal 
strombergs that came with it but I'm still fiddling with the needles.
