From what I've read, curvey carbs are a bit more time consuming due to the position of the vacuum spigots. Lots of folks recommend plumbing in some extra tubing permanently to the vacuum spigots so the balance can be checked without removing the air-box etc.

This is something I'll be doing sometime soon(-ish) so will be interested in any comments from those who have done this regularly on curveys.

Give me a shout if you want to borrow the Carbtune fella, I can easily bring it to work.

This reminds me, I actually need to do my throttle sync...

Does throttle body sync only apply to K3 onwards? No mention of it in the curvy fuel system described in Haynes.

that'll be because curys have cards, so no throttle bodies to sync, but carb balancing needs to be done for all the same reasons.

my dad whose a Autoelectrician/Mechanice balanced my carbs by ear and some other detail and my god what a difference.
