I think it has like a speed-o cable down thru the center and a knob to turn. Nessity the mother on invention.

I have that tool still in it's plastic case, used it maybe 10 times in 20 years,lol, mostly on K cars iirc.

Great article, I have collected and sold dozens of side inlet rochesters over the years, now I will start hoarding a set.
I had a J2 when I was a kid but it must have had aftermarket linkage. It had a slider with a set screw so you could adjust there the end carbs came in. I wish I had a picture of that.

Also as I read about jet availability, or lack of, I thought about a friend who restores Model As. He solders the jets shut and redrills them to the proper size.
