when you say setup... do you mean tune?!
if thats the case, there is a VERY easy way to tune multiple carbies! (coming from a bike background where they use 4 carbs)
get yourself a vacuum gauge set... (ask me what i mean if you dont know what it is)

There was even a cunning device around a few (20ish) years ago for tuning multiple carbs. (I used it on a Wolseley 1300 which had the twin SU set up). It consisted of a clear hose with a plastic ball in it, and a perforated plastic cone on each end (w Edited by user Wednesday, 2 May 2007 2:43:57 PM(UTC)

Katrina,
Try to find someone in your area who tunes/works on old pommy cars (Jags, Wolseleys, Mini's, etc) as they are likely to be familiar with SU carbs.
Cheers...Dave

I am not surprised mechanics don't want to touch triple SUs on a Holden. They are easy enough when they are original equipment but there is a lot of work involved in setting them up on a different engine if you want to get the best out of them
