Frankly, I wouldn't bother with the Colortune. That's $50 bucks you can
easily spend elsewhere on your car. Learn to set the mixture using the
old fashioned lift-the-pistons method. It's easy to do and gets easier
with practice. There's a write-up of the method in the maintenance
section of the VTR website.
