Balance adjustment mechanism ?  Huh ?  What am I looking for in the progression holes ? In your pic it looks like the edge of the butterfly plate thru the top hole. Thanks !

Well, blocked booster line with no change to idle. I removed rear carb to check o-rings for cracks or misalignments. When I reinstalled the idle got better. Maybe I tightened carb too tight ? Car will idle rough around 1000rpm but revs strong after that. Front carbs pull about 7kg on the syncro , rear carbs about 4kg so they are getting closer !  Should I mess with the air bypass screws get the numbers matching or just use the idle mix screws ?

Starter works, new Bosch sr71x ! Now, engine fired up instantly but rough idle. Air mix screws change idle on front carb; back carb does nothing. I suspect vacuum leak but can't find one. Brake booster line perhaps ? Front carb pulls 8kg on synchrometer, back carb pulls 3kg. Booster goes into #3

My 2 cents: Do the duals ! Fun stuff ! Now where is that vacuum leak ?

Whoops, info not completely correct. Starter #3 turned but didn't engage gear. That was a bad starter. Starters #2 and #3 were O'reilly. It was the weekend and was all I could get !

Block to chassis ground cleaned and shiny. Wire gauge is same for pos and neg. Car is a 72 and don't believe it was auto. Seat belt clips to a metal ring behind E-brake lever. I don't see any wires to indicate a seat belt kill switch...  New coil and dist was installed with the carbs but that shouldn't interfere with starter turning...

Well, the carbs are on. There's the good news. The bad is that the starter won't turn. Metered everything and 12v everywhere it needs to be. Tried jumping contacts on solenoid even, nothing. Got a new starter. Nothing. Got another one ( exchanged ). Nothing.  Tried jump starting from a running car. Nothing. A  Bosch sr71x ( small ) arrived today and installed . Nothing. So, four starters down. Maybe it's not the starter ! When you guys get done chuckling, can you tell me what I need to do ? Thanks !

Thanks Tom, I'll call Steve at TEP and see what he says. He sold it to me and will know what I should do ! -Scott

Yep, measured between the two small posts to get 7 on my Fluke T5-1000 digital multimeter set to ohms. My invoice from TEP says it's a Tii mechanical advance dist. with electronic ignitor. 

Metered 7 on the ohmmeter so I guess I'm good to go !

Here is a pic Tdh. Thanks for the input !

Can always count on TobyB ! I don't know if it's Petronix , the box was unmarked. How do I meter the coil primary ? I have an ohmmeter, where do I place leads ? Thanks again !!

There was a double Black wire going to the old vac dizz and the new dizz has a single black wire and a single red wire coming from it. I'm assuming that white ceramic box is the resistor. 

YES !! Everything is reassembled ! What fun ! Now, since I have the Webers, I switched to a Ti dizz and red coil. Where do all the wires go ? I've looked at diagrams and read articles... just looking for a simple answer. On the new dizz where does the red wire go and where does the black wire go ? Do I get rid of the resistor and keep the relay ? 

Thanks for the advice on synchro tool T. Will pick up a transmogrifier from the Calvin and Hobbes tool supply !

Heads done ! TEP did a fantastic job, check it out ! Can't wait to get it back and start assembly ! Might have to call in sick !!!

I have already purchased the dual Webers . I understand the tinkering to come with the setup but, as another member said,  It's about the look, the fun and that sound !! 

Exactly the way I was taught ! It meant more than a Yelp review 

Upon reading a lot of opinions on here about dual carbs, I am doing it ! When my head comes back from TEP, it's fun time ! Any great tips from the experts that I may have missed ? Stock block, a 284 cam and dual weber 40's  -Thanks !

It was inside the front cover of my owners manual found stuck to the glovebox ! 

Do you think he actually wrote it, or was it a rubber stamp ? I would like to think it was hand written ! 

Thank You for this thread ! I discovered that my 72 was originally sold from this dealership !  You know, I think I will make a custom H & E German Cars license plate frame now. Love the history !!
