Default A reason for the carbs set at different angles
Michael C Henry Some one told me years ago about no changing the angles on the carbs for 2 reasons. First was dirty air getting to the back carb. What I mean is the air flow over the first carb to the second carb is turbulent. This is way it sits up taller. I'm sure the Ford engineers spent alot of time in dyno cells working this out. Like you said the second reason was fuel bowl not overfilling under hard acceration. If you go on the FE forum, there are a couple of the olders guys that have and know just about everything that was tested and tryed on the FE motors. Dave S. John V. start with these 2. Rick L.
