This is a RARE fully adjustable Original Holden Twin Carb Synchroniser.Essential for correctly setting and balancing multiple carbs on a twin or tripple carby setup on a Holden Grey Motor.The only way that multiple carbs can be properly setup & adjusted is with one of these Synchroniser tools.It allows carby throttles & openings to be adjusted so that all carbies are drawing equally. That way motor develops full power, and good fuel economy with a smooth idle.
