Reading the posts about ways to balance carbs made me think of a tuning device
that was in the toolbox of my 1976 TR6 when I purchased it, but that I have
never tried.? As I recall, this is a combination of of an indicator to set
float height along with two rods that go into the carbs with small wires atop
them each of which?has a 90 degree bend.? The principle appears to be to adjust
idle speed until the two wires (which each point to the other carb due to the
bend) are equal and move simultaneously.? Has anyone else seen this device and
does it work??

Maybe the magic formula is idle speed. I idle at about 750 - 800. If I
turn it up it works, but at that speed if I open the throat enough so as not
to
interrupt the running of the car, the plastic ball does not move enough to
get a read. As I said I can do it if I get on and off quickly and I can get
the car to idle very well that way, it is just that I don't think that is how
the thing is intended to work. I started using one of those snail type,
except it is an older style that works on the same principle. That works
fine for
me.
We are talking about the Edlebrock (?) thing with the glass tube and little
red ball, right?
What do you do differently?
