[6pack] different data point

[Jeff Fetner]

  I got one of those kits in the ubiquitous box of stuff that came along 
with a parts transmission I bought.  It's in a red vinyl pouch (ISTR SU ones 
are black) and has a folded instruction sheet for tuning Stromberg CD 
carburetors.  Made by STE in "West Germany", stock No. 88-4467.

  I've used it as Dave described and it seems to work well enough...as well 
as a 123K mile TR6 can be sync'd anyway.  The last part of the instructions 
state that for precision synchronizing, use their "SYNCHROMETER" with cone 
adaptor #18.
