Geroge,
"Sync-away" using the throttle linkage. Nick was absolutely correct; it is
the best way to sync the throttle bodies! In fact, Vol. II (New Features)
of the maintenance manuals clearly states the order to sync them using the
throttle linkage screws. Sync 1&2 using screw in between these two throttle
bodies followed by 3&4 using the screw between these two bodies then finally
sync all four using the screw in the center, just above the throttle cable
attach points, between 2&3. It works great. Comment: I've found that a
carb stick (mercury) is superior to the vacuum gauges for syncronizing.
Now, does anyone have a CO monitor I can borrow for the weekend?

Subject: Throttle body sync
Ok. Nick & RSR, I finally got around to syncing my throttle bodies last
night and it seems that with the air screws alone I can't sync to
perfection. 1st and fourth are synced together as are 2nd and 3rd but not
all 4. So, are the butterfly screws the next step?
Another problem may be my gauges as they are oil filled and don't know how
perfectly calibrated they are. Any suggestions?
BTW it took for ever to land the 6mm ports to hook the gauges to (big thanks
to my mechanic that loaned them to me). It seems that the USA is still the
land of the standard and the home of the.....well I better not go there :-)
