Re: [T3] type III newbie

I am not sure what type of distributor is in it.  How would I determine if
it was a 009?  Thanks for the carb manual, I have never seen this before.
You are right I have never checked here for parts.  I just found out today
that it existed.

The right carb was working great and now since I have been doing some
adjustments both sides are not running so good.  So do you think I should
not spend the money on some new carbs and just get the ones I have tuned?

Thanks for the advice!
