I bought two sets of 4 from JC Whitney.  These use mercury tubes.  Just hook up 6  They work good.

Vacuum Tubing is 5mm or 13/64
Tubing fits sprinkler valves(restrictors), gauges and manifold.

Twinmax  cooldude cooldude

Been using one for 10 years or so, easy to use and store.  I remove the battery when not using it, cause they seemed to go dead.

I just received a Morgan carbtune setup 2 days ago. Will get around to it soon, I swear... Roll Eyes

You do 4 then the other 2. A much better setup than using mercury which can get sucked into the cylinders.

I prefer this setup over dial gauges with restrictors.

I like things simple too. I've said this soooooo many times over the years. I use one single plain ole gauge. Since Honda says 1.6 in/hg is their spec, so, this adjustment is no big deal. The single gauge will get you within a needle width which is better/less than .5 in/hg.

If I had to do this again I would probably go smaller gauge size and have used a needle valve instead of a ball valve. No doubt it cost much more to do the gauge setup than a manometer.

I highly recommend McMaster to everyone I know, they have excellent products, as well as fantastic customer service.
