Help needed: What’s going on here..???

[Fullchat289]

Guys:

I'm thinking this is a carb sync issue, ultimately (glass half full and all). Reason for this is when I took reciept of the car, the idle was a low 500rpm. One weekend when I gave my dad the car, I also handed him a screw driver and showed him where the master idle adjustment screw was on that RH front carb. What I'm think is that the idle adjustment was taken up by this carb and with the slight tolerances in the linkage, there wasn't enough to overtake the overall spring tension and none of the other carbs followed suit.

Anyway, to prove the theory, I should be getting a syncrometer in the mail this week.

Does anyone know if you need to mess with the idle mixture at all when sync-ing the carbs, or can you just back off all the jam nuts and make sure all the carbs are drawing the same and call it a day? I was a little confused by this when reading some of the "best lean idle" documents I found on the Pierce Manifolds site.

Thanks again..I really have appreciated all the replys.
