[tcb] Re: Sparky Update

Depends on if you have a set of Kads that have been plumbed for
vacuum advance.  In that case you'll have a port above the butterfly
in the carb.  The tube that goes between the manifolds is to help alleviate
intake pulsations that tend to foul up single barrel carbs in dual
configuration.

Here is a no research I'm not going to lookit up cuz I'm lazy question, do 
my twin Kadrons have vacuum ports. I bet that they do and I don't use them 
right? Whay is the hose called that runs from one to the other?

That balancer sounds like a thing from heaven, I have never heard of it.
