does this test work if I do not have to pass emissions or is the shape
of the needle on post 1968 cars different such that this test does not
work?

This is not a valid evaluation of mixture on a TR6 or any Emissions
tuned
LBC. This only works on pre-emissions TR's because the needles were
designed to
do this. This requires a slightly rich mixture at idle which will not
pass
the emissions requirements imposed by the US in 1968.
