Hi Ed,
I'm no TR-6 expert, but I'll hazard a few guesses/observations.

First observation- TR-6's came with Zenith Stromberg carbs. If
these really are SUs, they're likely to be off another car, and
may have inappropriate needles fitted.

These plugs are known to be a problem on cars that use any oil
at all; they tend to foul very quickly in most British cars.
I'd recommend switching back to a good quality, copper cored
plug like the NGKs or the new Champion plugs.
good luck,
