Drive the car wide open and then look at the tubing . This will tell you not only if the secondaries are opening , but how far . Think of this as a travel indicator like is on a shock .
I also like all the other suggestions .... something like this can drive you crazy ... or in my case , crazier !!
A paper clip can be used the same way.
