Anyone live in Rochester NY?

I need to borrow a carb sync tool, just for a couple of hours. I would be happy to leave a deposit or a small child or an annoying dog to insure the prompted return of the tool.
I live in Fairport.
Thanks!
John

John, we may be neighbors in the near future. If that happens, I'll look you up. However I can't help with the sync tool..... :frown:

John, John, John, my dear friend. Just use a hose.

I'm not anywhere near Rochester anymore, but I bought my very first car (a 1976 Spitfire) from a lady in Fairport. Didn't know how to drive stick when I picked it up, but drove it back to Rochester all the way down East Ave, stalling at every light!

When in Rochester visit "the Old Toad" an authentic English pub dismantled and brought over here, reassembled, and staffed by British students in the Rochester area. They even serve traditional draft beer pumped up from the basement. Yuuuuummmy! It's a common stop for the Rochester British car club.
I'm about 2 hours from you, if you had anyone down this way in the Elmira area, you could borrow mine. Honestly I don't know if it still works, I always use the hose trick.

Ah yes, The Old Toad... Forgot about tha place! havent benn ther in a long time. may need to take a road tip some time soon Ben.

 

[jdubois]

I remember going into the Old Toad a lot back in the day. Don't remember coming out so much :wink:

But didn't the original owner leave and start "The Rose and Crown"? Which, as I seem to recall, failed and became something else.

We did the dinosaur BBQ when we were there. It was fun. Also, the Eastman House.

 

[Banjo]

Ah yes! the Dinosaur BBQ! that's a must. right in the 100+ year old Lehigh Vally train station. Good eats, and you can smell that smoker for blocks.

Thank you for all of the replies. I use the tube trick when I am fooling around with them (or tuning Tom's (aka tdskips)cars - ha ha). This time I want to be super accurate, as I just rebuilt the carbs, so I am going to hook up an old vacuum gauge and check between the two.

Oh, so you are saying that your TR8 deserves better than mine? Nice - <span style="font-style: italic">some</span> friend you are. :laugh:

Or, are you saying the mighty magnificence of my manly 4.0 liter block makes such precision unnecessary?

PS - I can send my sync tool if you'd like.
