Installing dual carbs for the first time, Nevermind! Sticking with the Fuel Injection Options

[JRust]

Okay so I am putting a nice set of dual weber 40's on the LE. Going to get my break in miles done & drive it while I work on the FI stuff on the side. I get the basics of how to get them on. Was hoping someone could give me a nice step by step so I don't miss anything. Or put it on in the wrong order. I got the complete setup from Rich & he included everything needed except linkage which I picked up.
I allready installed the distributor & the intakes. I know I need to get my car to TDC & make sure my firing order is right.

Okay lay it on me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . In simple terms please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Sean, those drawings were you try to equalize everything don't always work, especially on the forward mount hex bar linkage. The reason your images/technique can be quite wrong is that on the hex bar linkage the cross-bar position is not equal on both carburetors. Your 'equalize everything' technique only works if the cross-bar arms are in the same relative position on each carb.

I prefer to simply ignore the measurements aspect, and watch both carbs to make sure they are hitting idle at the same time and hitting WOT at the same time. Then check airflow with a synchrometer at idle and at mid-throttle. When all those things are happening, the carbs are synched, even if the linkages don't measure out to be equal.
