I got one of those kits in the ubiquitous box of stuff that came along
with a parts transmission I bought. It's in a red vinyl pouch (ISTR SU ones
are black) and has a folded instruction sheet for tuning Stromberg CD
carburetors. Made by STE in "West Germany", stock No. 88-4467.
I've used it as Dave described and it seems to work well enough...as well
as a 123K mile TR6 can be sync'd anyway. The last part of the instructions
state that for precision synchronizing, use their "SYNCHROMETER" with cone
adaptor #18.
