Yah, pretty sweet ride!

i dont like ITB's....to hard to tune perfectly, pricey and then keeping them in tune with one another....GREAT concept...just to damn complex

^ those are carbs. 3 of 'em to be exact. And synchronizing carbs (or ITB's, for that matter) isn't difficult at all as long as you've got the tool to do it. Doing it without a sync' tool though is an easy way to give yourself a hernia ;)

I'll agree on price though. Those triple carb setups are pretty expensive. I've seen some well used examples go for quite a bit of money in auctions.

Its not that hard if you have good hearing...I did mine with the old vacuum hose method.

Awsome, that car is an hour and a half away from me! Its all mine. Theres also a silver with orange stripes that races in the Targa Tazzie. Its also for sale both are incredable machines.

Whats the vacuum hose method? You might save me from having to buy a sync tool :048:

I've seen a guy sync dual carbs just by ear. I took a vacuum reading with a sync tool on each carb once to test him and he was almost dead on. Old guy I used to work with, one of those "EFI is evil" types :p

Sounds like the same as the old dude. You use a piece of vacuum tube in your ear and passing from carb to carb listening to amount of air pulling in and adjust to make them sound even...then you adjust the mixture to make them rev evenly.
As long as you have decent hearing then its a little fiddly but doable

Mechanics are not the same anymore. They all rely on computers and other tools to get the job done. I used to work for a Mercedes specialist who has been doin full rebuilds, service etc. since the 60's. He had such an uncany ability to diagnose, tune and service the older technology it was amazing just to watch him work. He could make a 68 SL450 run off the smell of oil from a rag . . .

That rag is the difference between a technician and a mechanic. A tech doesnt need the rag cause the latex gloves keep his hands clean while he's fidding with his OBD scanner :p I hear guys take offense to being called mechanics like it's some lower level of the auto service profession. They're not mechanics any more, they're automotive technicians now. When a guy tells me that I know one thing: If his scanner cant tell me whats wrong with a car then HE probably cant tell me whats wrong with a car either. Dont get me wrong, those tools are invaluable on todays cars. But its just disturbing that a Nissan dealership with ASE certified, factory trained technicians cant service 30 year old technology properly cause there's no data port under the dash :rolleyes:
