Probably the best SU's to use are the HS6 type. They can be purchased new
and are a direct exchange for the Strombergs, at least on my 74 they were.
Improved performance, probably; improved ease of adjustment, absolutely.
The only thing from a 240Z that should go on a TR6 is the rear brake drums.

Bob is so right about the rear brake drums, but maybe the fumes in my
garage my have clouded his ever so sharp mind about the 240Z carbs. The only
difference I've found in the Hitachis is that the chokes work much smoother
than the originals. The Japs copied the HS6's (with permission) and may have
made them just a tad better. If you have a pair I'll be glad to buy them.
I've put them (Jap SU's) on both a TR250 and a TR6 with the improved
performance Big Bob mentioned.
