Tried This?

Hey I like that. A real 'Mr Wizard' feel to it.

I suppose you just assure the tube's ends are similarly placed in the throat of each carb then start it up (or place them simultaneously).

I was thinking vac ports

I have a 4 tube, mercury filled one of these that I got for motorcycle carbs. I like the idea of using oil instead. I was always concerned about the engine sucking in the mercury.
the one I have is a good 30 inches high. I got it several years ago through JC Whitney. I don't think it was more than $15

Plastic tubing in my ear has always worked for me.

Are you afraid of getting the Mercury in your ear?

That never worked well for me - too much vacuum<span style="font-style: italic"> between</span> my ears, I guess.

Yup, that's just the problem. TRs don't have the ports to hook those things up. I also suspect that the balance tube would make them less accurate than, say, the SU tool kit.

I did try one of the glass tube mercury types, many years ago on a motorcycle. Worked OK I guess, but I couldn't see any big advantage (so I never borrowed it again).

Besides, as long as the synchronization is kinda sorta in the ballpark, chances are you'll never notice the difference in performance. Even with one idle adjustment backed off entirely, my engine still idled well enough (bit of a lope) and drove fine.

Got that little issue, meself!

I really do appreciate the humor. My wife would say that's where my brains went, out the tube. However, it really does work well.

My ex-pat English pal always called it his "listenin' pipe".

I've used either a piece of 1/4" fuel line or the Uni-Syn for years. With practice, the hose method is as accurate as necessary.
