Not new or high-tech but a Gunson Colortune worked for me to get the  
mixture right.

It also enabled me to see that a fuel pressure surge was causing a  
miss (the flame went yellow instead of the preferred blue) when excess  
fuel got pushed past the float needles every so often. The yellow  
flame coincided with the temporary fuel pressure gage I placed in the  
fuel line jumping in pressure to 3-5 psi. I put a fuel pressure  
regulator in the fuel line which solved that issue. My TR6 is picky  
about not having more than about 2 psi of fuel pressure.
