Personally, I prefer a pair of plastic tubes. One end of each goes to the
air inlets with the air cleaners off. The other ends go to one's ears. When
the sound of the suction is identical, the carbs are synchronised. I have
used a Uni-Syn before, but stopped using it because my ears appeared more
accurate. After buying my TR3A, I bought a '65 Volvo PV544 Sport and it came
with a Uni-Syn but I've never used it. I have, however, managed to get
very precise carburettor sychronisation with the tubes, on both cars and with
previous Triumphs and MGs wth SUs and Strombergs.
I'm sorry to give you an answer that you didn't want. I often find that
forums give an answer that says "try this: It should work". Now I find I am
doing the same, so perhaps I am hypocritical. However, my opinion is that I
would ditch both tools and use the ones that my parents gave me, along with
a pair of plastic tubes.
Sorry to have thrown a grenade into the whole forum; I'm sure I've created
trouble and I'm honestly not a troublemaker......
