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.

martin, jp's method is beautiful in it's simplicity. my experience is with 4s but the same mechanical methods should apply. it found that trying to adjust both the idle screws, one would push off stop and throw off the flow rates. using the pass side rod to match the drivers side will save you a lot of grief. the book from C.B. performance adresses the 40 IDA too. the air bypass screws are adjusted after you are all done with the syncro. but they need to be set the same before you even warm up the car. the one on the left at aircooled is what i own.
