After installing my motor and transmission it appears I ended up with about 3 degrees of carb tilt (carbs tilt towards front). The wedge spacers I'm finding are made with 5 and 8 deg correction - which is just going to leave me in the same position or worse, except leaning in the opposite direction.

Just for grins I went over and put my angle finder on the air cleaner of my 67 Plymouth GTX - wouldn't you know it - dead flat.

Anyone see 3 degrees posing any problem with getting Holleys set up to run OK on the street? I'm thinking not and that a forward lean is a better compromise than a rearward lean.
