To synchronize your carbs, you need a UniSyn - only about $25. Don't drill
holes in anything! The Unisyn is placed over the mouth of the carb briefly
and a little red dealie-bob will rise in the indicator. Set each carb
for the same reading. Very simple.

I think that was recommended as a good way to siphon out one's brains; but
that might have been the bluebird list, they're nutty that way.
For more SU info -
Well, the best bet for a complete novice is Scott Bruning's SU video -
http://www.ZTherapy.com but a favorite link of mine is:
http://home.istar.ca/~datsun/att06.htm ..also enjoy:
http://www.jetlink.net/~okayfine/sutech.html then there's my tech page:
http://www.sonic.net/~kyle/ztech.html which discusses setting the
mixture... I cut my teeth on an article at http://www.ZHome.com - you'll
have to do a little digging there, I think it's in the technical section
or somewhere...
