Hi Jim,

It can't have been 14 years since they last sold one, because I bought one =
from
them about a year and a half ago.=C2=A0

Here are a couple of possible resources for people trying to piece
together an EFI system with a focus for TR3-4A engines.

Before TWM went out of business they offered DCOEs, intake manifolds,
and major EFI conversion components, including throttle bodies based up
the DCOE configuration.

When TWM went out of business they sold their EFI business or
transformed into Borla Induction

https://www.borlainduction.com

Who produces the DCOE based throttle bodies and other major EFI components=
=2E

TWM sold their intake manifold business to Pierce Manifolds, who still
offers the TWM DCOE conversion kit for the TR four.

https://www.piercemanifolds.com/TRIUMPH_TR3_TR4_HIGH_PORT_WEBER_40_DCOE_p/k=
131.htm

So you can still get the manifolds, linkage, EFI throttle bodies,
position sensors & such, all originally designed to work together as a
system.

itg makes an air filter with holes properly spaced for the TR four using
TWM/Pierce manifolds and DCOEs or TWM/Borla throttle bodies. The
critical component is the back plate which I don't think is still being
mentioned in their web site. If you want to use a itg air filter (I have
one on my TR3 with TWM manifolds & DCOEs) ask for back plate part number
28-JC-50.

itg has a formula (for their filters only) that calculates the minimum
distance between the horn opening and the facing element for no negative
affect in air flow. The minimum distance is calculated by dividing the
inner diameter of the air horn by four.

I think this is probably enough to piece together a mechanical fuel
injection system & put an air filter on it. No idea about a computer to
add the "E".
