Arne Posted August 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2009 Search this site for carb tuning tips. Plenty of previous posts on this topic, anything I could post here would simply be a duplication several times over.

Mike B Posted August 13, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 13, 2009 The carb tuning instructions in the factory service manual (FSM) are pretty much the same as on the Ztherapy video. I think some of the FSMs are available online. If you do a search you should be able to find the link to where they are posted.You will need a carb sync tool, like this Uni-syn http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EDELBROCK-UNI-SYN-Model-A-MULTI-CARB-SYNC-TOOL-1-00-NR_W0QQitemZ220463510762QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item3354a634ea&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 and a long flat blade screwdriver.-Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/32809-idle-screw-balance-tips/#findComment-291782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Moore Posted August 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2009 By the way, do not try to adjust the idle speed without synchronizing the carbs. Just turning each screw the same apparent distance each time does not work.
