In quinuclidine, as the groups are bound closer together, the +I effect is more as compared to triethyl amine, where the groups are spread apart due to repulsions

Due to more +I, the lone pair richness of N increases in quinuclidibe and so, it is the stronger base. iinincrquiniquinuquiniquqiiiiniinincrquiniquinuqui
