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.

Heh, my wife won't get into mine except to help bleed the brakes....."it's noisey & stinky & hard to get in/out of"....about perfect, me thinks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Popping/hesitation is usually lean condition.
IMO, if you're mixture screws are open more than 3 turns, the idle jets are too small.

I run 60s on my 2.7 and they are set at about 1.75 turns open.
For a otherwise stock 3.0, B Anderson recommends 34 mm venturi, f3 tubes, 160 mains and 175 air correction jets. 60 to 65 idles.
I run his 2.7 hot rod setup and it seems spot on.

Get an MSD 6AL and hi vibration coil. NGK BP6 or 7 ES plugs gapped at bout .045......great for "burn thru". I think Craig already put the good plug wires on.

Are you a night owl also? I do second shift at the lazy B.
