A quick note on balancing the carburetors
Do not worry about getting the vacuum Hg figures the same as the book, it is far more important that all the gauges read the same.
All gauges reading the same means the throttle butterfly valves are now synchronised the present engine condition. :woot
The figures in the book often have the idle speed, set to high or to low depending on the type of gauges used, weather/temperature, height above sea level and/or engine wear.
It is the setting of the idle speed at the factory in factory conditions, :eek not the conditions most owners have in the man/woman shed and definitely not the conditions in my garage. :lol
Set the TPS after setting the Idle speed.
