My new carburetor synchronizing tool came in late yesterday afternoon, something I wish I would’ve bought three years ago when I install the Mikuni round-slides on the M10.

 

I’ve been using the Edelbrock “Uni-sync”, the only drawback is that you can only calibrate one carburetor at a time. Being able to adjust all four carbs at the same time is much quicker, an a lot easier on my back.   LOL

 

Well worth the investment......

 

Ha ha. Need to cross ref this set of pix to the raging discussion going on now about “intake manifold choices” and best carb setup/complexity

Maybe it's me and my OCD, but this took me the better part of a day to get it right. Admittedly I started late, had to glue the vinyl back on the wheel wells, make the board, glue the parcel shelf and the carpet pieces on the wheel humps take more than just some major massaging, but it came out great. 

 

I didn't even glue the carpeting on the bottom piece. I've learned to glue what needs to be glued and don't glue what doesn't. You can always glue later if you want. I think the carpet color goes great with my Natural Tan interior.

Circle track guys have been successfully running the same Mikuni VM round-slide motorcycle carbs since the early 80's on a variety of 4-cylinder motor combinations. I'm not sure what year they started running the 44's, but the car I won the Madera Speedway "Track Championship" in 1999 had the 44mm carbs, (the car was built in 1994).

 

My brothers car was built in1994, it has the Mikuni 44mm VM round-slide motorcycle carbs.  I just took our knowledge from all the years of racing circle track and successfully brought over to my "2002".....

Got rid of the woodgrain on my instrument cluster.  Sanded it off, painted it, and put on 3M di-noc carbon fiber vinyl

 

Still working on getting the Speedhut speedo and tach in though.

 

Looking good so far:

Cut out the driver’s rear floor pan on the Chamonix ‘73. Roughly trimmed the replacement pan. I’ll make some repairs to it before I weld it in place. Hope to get to that this weekend.

I simply checked my odo to calculate that I drove 3,012 miles in the 02 in 2018!  How many will I drive this year?
