Want to Buy/Rent/Borrow Gunson Colortune and a syncro guage

[twobone]

I'd like to try out the Gunson Colortune 14mm and a Weber synchro guage for a DCOE 40.

 

If anyone has one or both on the shelf for sale, rent or borrow, please drop me a PM

 

Thanks

I much prefer the snail type sync tools:

you can probably get the colortune for less than $50 - so you're looking at less than $100 for tools you should be using every 6 months or so.

I have a colortune, but haven't used it in many years. I am not sure of its condition or thread size, but pretty sure it is 14mm. I will look tonight.

We aren't far apart and you are welcome to borrow it, or purchase it if you like.

 

For balancing carbs, I prefer to use individual mecury vacuum gauges, one connected to each intake port. Many motorcycles are setup from the factory with individual vacuum ports. I haven't seen any cars setup this way, but adding the nipples to the manifold is pretty easy. I made myself a gauge years ago but don't think I still have it. I'm pretty sure you can still buy them from motorcycle shops though they would likely need to order it in, or I'm sure you can get them off eBay or mail order.

Confirmed I have a 14mm colourtune. If you want to borrow it or buy it, let me know.

the webbers do have said nipples. The other thing you can do is buy some tubing and listen to the pitch of the hissing out of each hose.

Dellortos have these ports as well.
