there is a tool called a "selsyn" as I recall, for synchronizing SU type
carbs - I have one for use on my Morgan - you can do it by eye and come
pretty close though, just look at the piston height.

As others have said, it's a blast to drive. Smog might be your biggest
issue. My brother had one, ended up buying a new engine, it wasn't that
much more than having the clapped out engine rebuilt to his standards.

Should have side draft constant velocity SU carbs. Get them balanced, and
make sure you check the oil in the dampers, that's what's under the little
black caps on top of the carbs. Used to run those carbs on a 510 Datsun.
You know where I live now, in winter I'd run ATF in the dampers, 10-40w in
summer to slow off idle response.
People looked at me real funny when I'd say "I have to change the oil in
my carbs this weekend". G
