Re: [T3] Carb Balancing


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hi Jim, I found them for $21.60 (cheapest)
(http://nismoparts.safeshopper.com/30/2706.htm?691) new but if its an old
one maybe more.( I doubt the new ones would have the correct adaptor/spacer
collar) Let me know how much you'd like, it would be most helpful. I'd also
be interested in a couple of your right angle dist connectors if you are
willing to part! And maybe some of the Bosch SP sockets with the silicon
ends (its very damp in London at the moment!) or could you let me know the
part no. so I could order some over here?
Thanks for all the help

I'm not sure if this will work as well, since you'd be measuring different
things. The Uni-Syn responds to air flow thru the carb. While manifold
vacuum changes with airflow, at idle I don't think it changes very much, so
I'd
be concerned that it would be hard to get them set very closely this way.

I have an extra Uni-Syn here that I'd be willing to sell. What are they
worth?
Shipping to the UK for this would not be too bad.
