"adjusting the air/fuel mixture by ear . . ."

That brings back memories! I remember adjusting the air flow on the duel SU's of my Spitfire, TR-4, TR-6 using a short run of plastic hose held to my ear. That was just after adjusting the points, setting the idle speed, checking the "dwell," messing around with the timing . . . And wondering if "radial" tires were really worth the extra cost!

Maybe I do need to get into the 21st century (but the old days were fun, too!).
