[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1243004, member: 3828"] @MajBach - First off, glad to hear the sync was so successful, even with the little garage door SNAFU. So far I have had a few people that said there was not much of adifference, but most have noticed a lot of improvement like you did. I guess it all just depends on how far out of sync they are when you start. Second, the fact that your gauge doesn't measure absolute values is insignificant. The Morgan Carbtune that many other folks use and love (including me) also does not measure inches of mercury, since it is just four metal rods sucked up into glass tubes. The entire point of a synchronization is just to balance the vacuums between cylinders under various conditions. You have no ability to change the absolute value of the vacuum. It will be whatever it will be at a particular rpm. Third, I appreciate your feedback about the thread being confusing. Although I originally posted this as a "procedure", it was also under some significant amount of discussion with other people as to how well it would work, and the procedure did get changed slightly. I think that all one needs to read is the first post in the thread, as I have gone back and edited that first post to reflect the most recent information / theories / procedures. I will now go back and post some sort of warning to that effect at the beginning of first post so maybe someone who comes along later won't be distracted by all the subsequent chatter. FWIW - I also keep and host copy of the procedure on my [URL="https://home.comcast.net/~FJR-NERDS/The_FJR_NERDS_Web_Depository.htm"]FJR-NERD's Repository Web Site[/URL], (along with a few other useful procedures) which can also be accessed by clicking the little nerdy icon in my signature line, [/QUOTE]
