I've always used a manometer (Morgan carbtune II) to sync carbs. I saw a set of gauges on jcwhitney and was thinking of picking them up. Does anyone have any thoughts. Which is better, or easier to use, manometer or gauges?

Luck me, I have a lifetime supply of murcury..
(don't tell the epa)
I work with vacuum a lot, I don't trust gauges unless they are good quality, $50+ good.
So a gauge sychro for $200+ or a manometer for
under 50. Hmmm.
The best way to measure inches of murcury is with murcury. The CarbTune has wieghts right?
I think this is a good idea too for the reasons Cyber mentioned. Since I have access to the parts I could build one using 4 MKS 1000 Torr barotrons
but why reinvent the wheel.. Other then to own a $5000 carb synchonizer.

Seriously, though, why/how/huh?

Just dropped emails to the original design team who came up with the first Katana concept drawings to get permission to use them and to verify some facts.

The origional , where it all started Katana . Looks nothing like the modern day Kats ! A friend of mine who used to be a mechanic "back in the day" before being exposed to Agent Orange told me that the Katana was the first motorcycle with the seat/tank designed to "eject" the rider in a head-on collision . I wonder if that's true ...
