Reply to "Torker Intake"

They are more difficult to get the idle fuel level correct.
It would seem that Holley located the bowl sight plugs with the presumption that the carb would be close to level at idle.
If you look at the carbs with side mounted floats the primary and secondary sight plug holes are at different levels.
The correct fuel level at idle is that the fuel should be right at the bottom of the hole at idle.
If the carb is not level at idle then it will make the front bowl fuel level incorrectly low at idle and the secondary too high.

I have this problem on my GT350 with 2x4 Holleys. The carbs in that case are not the original application and are mounted backwards which is normal for the Ford 2x4 linkage.

This basically makes adjusting the fuel levels a little bit of guesswork.

The original 2x4v BB carbs have different fuel bowls with relocated sight plugs.
They are about as rare as hens teeth these days and twice as expensive as a Saudi oil well.

Incidentally, if anyone cares, the Ford Motorsport 341, Torker style intake has the carb pad cut on an angle.
This is in contrast to the tall spyder manifolds that are cut "correct" for a Pantera.

I had my tall spyder milled on an angle .375" to .000 to fit it under the roof.
It caused no problems that way with the Holley 4779.

I have since put the Webers back on the car and sold the "old" set up. That guy didn't like the height on his Pantera either and had it for sale again last year.

The problem with that intake is the height. It is high like a tunnelram.
