Tim,
You don't NEED one, you have a length of plastic screen wash pipe and an ear 
(or two).  That is all you really need.
You don't NEED to have more than 2 half inch spanners, but I'll bet you do. 
(Just count up how many you have - I stopped when I reached double figures!)
Stuff all this going back from one carb to another and messing about.
Get it built, enjoy building it, make it so it will work with other carbs, 
play with it.  Have it so you can read it from the drivers seat as you are 
driving along.  Make it into the must have tool for all racers (street and 
track) so they can see what is happening under the bonnet and why they don't 
get maximum power at all engine rev conditions.   Then sell it to Snap-on!

Best of luck - go for it      :-)

ps if you need a beta tester for the prototype just send one across and if 
anyone tells you not to enjoy yourself and don't make it - well ......  LOL
