Two thoughts on the exhaust inspection ports:
A. The flames you are hoping to see will reveal themselves with
considerable gusto, and may present a noise and fire hazard within the
engine compartment. Watch those eyebrows!
B. opening up the ex. header will probably change the flow
dynamics, ( ie reduced backpressure, no scavenging, etc.) and render you
carb adjustments 'inaccurate' when the holes are plugged up again.
If you want to get fancy, maybe installing a thermocouple in each
ex. manifold port would reveal some useful info. You could measure the
temps, and adjust the carbs- at least getting them to match-- however
exactly what the correct temp is may have to be experimentally derived.

Subject: Colortune use
I also have a colortune set and agree with the previous individual that
stating
having multiple colortune units would be advantagous. It gets to be a pain
tuning on a per cyl basis (I am running triple Webers).
I have been told that if one looks at the exhaust flame immediately after
the
head one can use the flame color same as using the color tune system. I am
considering drilling small inspection/tuning holes in my headers and brazing
nuts over the holes so that I can plug the inspection holes with short bolts
when not in use. Will this work, what thinks the list?
