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?

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.

hard to say mate,  i have no idear what engine your running them on .

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.
