    Ok i read alot of diff things on different sites, need some PRO advice/guidance. Bought the nice webber sync dial, not unisync. double check me here! remove all the connecting rods from throttle rod to carbs -back out the idle speed screw so that it just touches ( all six) -set idle speed screws at 1/2 turn past just touching -set fuel mixture screw at 1.5 turns out to start (saw something about a 3rd progression hole!!!!) -start engine and begin with each carb setting the mixture screw for best idle, meaning screw in until idle starts to drop then back out to best idle??? -then start adjusting each carb for flow(syncronizing ???) using the idle speed screw for each carb to achieve same flow at each carb while adjust all to maintain a proper idle speed approx 900 rpms. - once all carbs are flowing same and idle is right carbs are Sync??? -reattach each linkage rod making sure it is right at the No Slop point with out changing the idle speed , tighned and done!!! Well am I way off base or is this gonna get it Pro's! Should have stated these are dcoe40's and the engine is 2.6 slightly modded, bored cam ext. headers.

    when it rains my front windshield tends to fog real bag and using the defroster in hot or cool doesnt seem to do any good, it's blowing right but still fog, got to wipe it to see and then it refoggs with streaks, tried cleaning and all but still same when it rains, any body else or someone found a fix!!

    not exactly sure but if you look at the pics that top lip looks like it goes on the out side of the bucket like the side valance would, but doesnt cover the entire area, any one with a close of pic of one mounted, this one came from Black Dragon and is going on a 77!
  21. Im confused! looks like there is one missing, should be 4 I only see threee!!! Of course Im already on the CROWN so that might have something to do with it!
