I just noticed it's a C cab, not much weather protection for the driver.

Syncing those carburetors would be a nightmare.

That's why removing the idle and low speed jets from the four outboard carbs is the best bet. Then sync the best you can and tell everyone it's your secret progressive set up.

I've seen a Unisyn used on a European engine with two carbs and the owner said he was happy with it, but I don't know if he actually knew what he was doing or not. As I understand it the Unisyn measures air flow and depends on jet size for proper fuel to match.

I linked to that simple device because it worked wonderfully on a Bristol 100D with three Solexes I had for many years.

That's good to know. We see so many gadgets on the market that promise the world but are crap, it's nice to get first hand experience to go by.

Bristol 100D, that's one of them foreign jobs, I'll have to notify ICE to administer the pledge of allegiance.
Just kidding you Jim, my brother races Mazdas, and is on the National Board of the SCCA representing the New England Reagion.

These are sweet, I've driven a few and had one for a short time. Civilized, comfy and quiet. The last 2 years were hard to get because the FBI and Secret Service snapped them up by the trainload.

I didn't know about all those specialty fuels.
Le Mans could be expensive.
Or the Cannonball.
