Graham,
Unfortunately the US Spec cars didn't have a baffled tank. You'll need to
either fit a new, PI tank or, as I have done, a surge tank between the main
tank, filter and pump. I actually used a CAV filter (similar to the main
filter on the PI's) and removed the cartridge from the centre - gives me
about a litre of fuel. Prior to this, the pump would cavitate wildly on
left hand turns and eventually suck air through the system which would then
need bleeding! There's a few other things you may need to look at in doing
the conversion as well - let me know if you need any more details.

Help on TR6. (and I got to tell someone about the fantastic meeting we just
had!)
Hi Folks
A friend of mine has a US spec TR6 which he wants to convert to Injection.
All the bits are available from his next door neighbour who has a spares car
to dispose of! What I would like to know is did the TR6 have a swirl chamber
in the tank like the injected saloons, and if so was it present on the US
spec carburetted cars, or was it omitted to save money the same as the
carburetted saloons. Or, do we need to swap the tanks over or will the tank
from his non injection car be the same.
Thanks in advance.
