Synchrometer Recommendations, Your "secrets" on Carb Sync tools Options

[Martin Baker]

Well, after many years being away from Carbs, and learning Robert Bosch's systems on my own personnel vehicles, I am now taking what I learned about basic carb principles, to tuning Holleys for drag racing, and reading the two different books I bought on Webers, I would like to ask all of you kind folks what Carb Synchrometer is your personnel favorite? I see the Uni-Syn and another named Synchrometer TYPE SK from Redline Inc. The latter is much more exspensive than the uni-syn. An ex-F1 mechanic here in town says Uni-Syn. Are there others, and has anyone used this Redline product? Thanks.

Ok Thanks for the tips, I will look for the Redline Type, I figured it would be better using the cost=value theroy, but I wanted to ask. Thanks for the tips, I have the 40 IDA's on a 3.0 liter six. I has some popping thru the exhaust at idle (mixture?), and hesitation off idle that I thougt could be not enough fuel from the accelerator pumps, I will experiment with new pump diaphrams and squirter size after I learn the sync process. JP, I will contact you on the drill, I really prefer hands on training compared to reading. I mix both, to learn as much as I can. The method has always helped fix the airplanes....you have to respect someone who knows what they are doing. I always listen to the guys who have done it, and have the facts. The sound of this car is fantastic, with the carbs breathing in, the fan and the exhaust, it has the note of what I have always thought a sports car should sound like. I love carbs too. I still have allot of reading to do, but I am beginning to understand the Webers operation like I did the Holley on my Big Block Chevy Race Car.
