I know this needs to go in the parts wanted section, but here goes. Someone used to make a hand made tool to adjust the rear carb a/f screws. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one.

Along with the Promax metering plates for the Holley R2300 4160 front and rear carbs....to allow for removable Holley jets to allow for stagger jetting and more even mixture distribution.......just my opinion of course......

I just adjust the front carb swap it to with the rear and then adjust the other one on the front.

In the early 80's, I modified a tool that was for adjusting points on Delco distributors. Can't remember if it was made by Cal Van, Thexton or another company. Anyway, it was about a foot long with a twist knob up top, had a 90* angle gear drive on the other end with a hex key tip sized for Delco points. I figured, hey, I'll pull the hex end out and put a short stub of pocket screwdriver in instead. Worked great. Gave it away some years back to a guy who had a six pack since I didn't need it anymore.

It was actually a member here who was making limited quantities of them. I believe it was a pre-order deal, and he needed to make at least 20 or so to make the exercise worthwhile.
This is going back a good ten years now.

I bought this one a while ago. I didn't have much luck with it. I used the stock adjustment needles with a small flex screw driver instead. I would try a small flex driver with a 90 degree attachment first.

Thats along the line of the one I made.
Are you willing to part with that one. Let me know.

There was a similar device....try McMaster-Carr or maybe Grainger. What I remember...it's a "ball driver" device, like an Allen wrench, but a similar hex, like an Allen wrench, but semi-spherical hex ball end, so it can work at an angle, but have a flexible shaft and a screwdriver type handle....maybe 6"-8" overall length.
It's only needed for the rear carb, as the front carb screws are accessible after removing the lead caps. OR just use the PROMAX carb base with the angled screws on the rear carb only....95% of the time, once set, these screws USUALLY don't need readjusted again.....just my suggestion.....

That looks like the one the member here was making for sale to others.
I couldn't find the thread or who the member was.
