Shop around you can find pretty much the same thing for about $60-$65 delivered.

true, but thats without the sync tool ($15, motion pro). 
ive used this sync tool many many times over the past 4 years.
I think mine was $59.95 + shipping.
no complaints.

Thinking about replacing my 1975 Carb Stix.  Any suggestions on a set using gauges instead of the mercury tubes ??

They still do mercury? I've been trying to find some to refill my original Morgans.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

I don't think they do anymore.  These were purchased around 1975.  I've been careful not to spill any.  Yet in elementary school in the 1950's we played with mercury on our desktops.  Mercury wasn't toxic back then.  ;)

Same here. I brought some home from school in the palm of my hand.  :o Also made my fingers smoke with phosphorous.

You might be lucky and find a mirror manufacture as I believe they use mercury.
