multi carbs.

Quick question,

Your car has 6 cylinders and 3 large SU's.

You use 3 colortune plugs and a vacuum guage, known as a 'sook meter' in Scotland.

Q. Do you balance 'sook' then mixture or mixture then 'sook'?

or does it matter?

[overherebc]

Colortune plugs. 

Just for those who might not know what they are.

Throw away the SU's and get twin choke Weber's tuned in.

get the air flow right first , then set the fuel.

Synchronise the carbs first, adjust the mixture, set the idle speed.

If I could find 3 in Thailand at a sensible price I would buy them.

38's or 40's whatever. Problem being finding 3 of them not 2 and not wanting a manifold seems to be the stumbling block.
