    Once I attached the " return " spring to make the throttle snap back , it was very easy to balance.
    My problem was that it wasn't returning back, and stopped slightly before it was closed.

    Once again, thanks again for the help guys

    i use the one he bought, and for checking the flow for balancing, i cant think of a better one. very simple and efficient to use. the carbtune one is kinda cool because you can see all 4 flow #s at the same time, but it takes a little time to setup. along time ago they used very expensive dial indicators that would show the flow#s of all cylinders at the same time. the carbtune is a inexpensive way of doing the same thing.

    Balanced, running and driving.
    Runs and drives great

    I'll post a video of the car running and driving soon, but there is no windshield. It's pulled for paint.





    Couple of things left for the engine bay, I'm going to respray the front panel because I scratched the crap out of it installing the engine, leaning on it and tools laying on it. I have to powder the prop rod, and a maybe find strut caps and some other nice pieces to finish the bay.

    I wish I had photography skills but I don't know what I'm doing, anyway pretty much ready for paint now. I don't think I'll make it to Waterfest because I HATE WATERFEST, but the condo for H20 is booked already.

    Any of you have a need for a Saab vac advance dizzy? I have one, reman, and no use for it since the new car will be MS3X.
    Someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end - but we can't just get in line again.

    ( I got a new MkII for you all to make fun of )

    Hey everyone, being a carb related item, I thought I'd make you all aware of this in case you're looking to upgrade your ignition system...
