Question Ford Flathead V8 - PA

Is it normal for a Ford Flathead V8 with an Offenhauser dual intake manifold with two Holly 94 carbs on it that one would have a stronger vacuum pull than the other when you place your hand on top of one as compared to the other?
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
My husband is trying to use a carb synchronizer (Edelbrock) when he places this on one carb it doesn’t affect the engine at all . If he places it on the other one and starts to adjust it, it kills the engine.

Additional information: It has Offenhauser aluminum heads, 3/4 race Cam (Max 1) and a Mallory dual point distributor and headers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there, and welcome to FTE. If you check out the classic truck forums, or maybe even the other ford truck engine forums, you will get more specific help with your problem

Sure no problem at all. If you need any help, just ask, anyone. Very few people around here are unwilling to help
