Re: [T3] Thinking about new carb sync method.

Yes, I use a spare fuel filler hose from the tank inlet of a parts car is
just the right size to fit the carbs.  Use it full length (6" ?) or cut a
slice off to clear the air-cleaner mounting studs.

As far as the idea of using the balance ports - try it!  I have very
successfully used a length of hose onto some 'nipples' soldered in the
air-cleaner over the carbs to make a simple U-tube manometer with a bit of
kerosene as the fluid.  It worked well over a bigger rpm range and with
pre-heated air too - much more realistic conditions.
