Throttle Body Syncronizer
Anyone have a recommendation on which Carb Sync tool to get to do sync my TBs? I'd love to spend $100 on a MotionPro or a CarbTune but I just cant justify spending that right now.
I was also looking at these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carbu...motiveQ5fTools
but they look sort of cheap. Any happy middle ground? |

You can make your own. Do a search and you'll find several threads on teh topic. Then you can save your bucks until you can get a Carbtune, a device I highly recommend.

Yeah I've been looking through old posts at the home made ones, but I dont trust myself that much 
I did see this
which looks promising. Does it matter where you take the vacuum reading: on the designated spot on the left side of the throttle body like the manual tells you to or with this intake cap device dealy? |

If you have a vacuum guage, then you don't need one. You can take one reading at a time. Move from one TB to the other and adjust as necessary. It may take an extra 15 minutes. Basically just get each to read the same amount.

That video in the archieve is very good and detailed, but it's a half-hour! Seems like there's probably 5 minutes of info in there. I googled "How to sync throttle bodies" and immediately came up with a dozen step-by-step how to's.
