It's a demon on the stock intake. From just looking at it, I would guess that the carb was flipped so that the vacuum secondary diaphram housing would clear the jackshaft. I was just wondering if the stock autolite carb was oriented the same way or if this was an owner mod to fit the aftermarket carburetor on.
