(there are other tools in the kit as well) I like it as the UniSyn is too
variable... the reading changes as you move it around the face of the carbs,
and it alters the carb's function as it is obstructing the flow.

are actually giving you the relative height of the pistons which is directly
affecting the needle height, and mixture. The Unisyn only gives you the
relative butterfly opening which is valid if and only if the needles and
piston weights and springs and piston interference are identical. The wires
compensate for some of that. (not all as we are not actually reading mixture)

have a selection of "Unisyns through the ages. From the German made Motometer,
through Edelbrock, and newer.
