Mose, Brit Vic etc have this kit and it is called a "SU Tool Kit" for
about $11.00. Its easier to use then your ear. Just remove the
plungers from the SUs, place the rods into the dampener well, attach
the two pointers to the rods and zero them to each other, start the
car and adjust the carbs so that the pointers again are at the same
height.

My dad used to have an "SU Tool Kit" when he had his MGA (can't find it now).
Although I never used it, I believe it may have included some piece that
indicated the position of the pistons, to be used in syncronizing. Does anybody
have one of these and use it for this?
