You have missed the concept, my engine is not at the original designed angle (it sitting almost level front to back). So now a production manifold is not at the as designed angle. I measured the carbs setting at about 6° or 7° downward in front. They are both in the same plane. Using the wedges, I intended to lift the fronts of the carbs putting them allmost level but in different planes with rear being a little higher than the front. The smallest wedge was Moroso 5° wedge plate. Then, at the Moroso site, they discuss that the wedges were intended to tip the carbs forward to control the gasoline levels under acceleration ( probably drag racing). So for now, the 5° wedges would bring the carbs back to allmost level , but according to their intent that isn't desired either. For this and other reasons, I think the electronic mutliport fuel injection would have been a better choice. But for now, I have this inline dual four barrel setup, and probably will continue.
