Plymouthy Adams Posted September 17, 2017 Report Posted September 17, 2017 probably some shill bidding going on....may resurface in a bit for another round of bidding...or as always stated in the past......a fool and his money is soon parted Quote
plymouthcranbrook Posted September 17, 2017 Report Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) One of the many reasons I rarely look at Fleabay any more. Limited stock and astronomical pricing Edited September 17, 2017 by plymouthcranbrook Quote
Pauls_Plymouth Posted September 17, 2017 Report Posted September 17, 2017 Too often someone goes berserk bidding too high, when the item can be had for lots less elsewhere, or at a different time on . eBay. Chances are there will be many carb sync. meters for sale now that one went too high. Just wait & you should be able to get one reaonably. In a pinch i used a rubber hose to listen to the air flow differences between the carbs. Better yet, go to a medical uniform store & buy the cheapest sthescope they have with the longest length tube (single tube-not double tube) Then cut off the bell end leaving as much tubeing as you can on the end. . When done tuning carbs, stick a nail into the end of the sthescope tube & you have a engine noise locator. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 18, 2017 Report Posted September 18, 2017 Jeez I just bought one in as new unused condition (NOS) for under $23.00. A real one not the new ones being sold. 1 Quote

A real one not the new ones being sold. Certainly a more realistic price, and about the same as what I paid for mine as I recall. Quote
Ulu Posted September 18, 2017 Report Posted September 18, 2017 I had a matched pair that was swiped in the great tool theft of 1982, along with a matched set of 4 Stewart Warner vacuum gages. This made me into a bitter old man far ahead of my time. Quote
johnsartain Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 They still make them, I bought one from sears back about 1980 to balance the carbs in my MG Midget. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Edelbrock-4025-Uni-Syn-Carburetor-Synchronizing-Tool,267.html for $29.99 Quote
