BEFORE Le Mans bowl carb's, in 65 or so, Holley did not have any center pivot floats.

Jump ahead to today. Holley center pivot floats of an entirely new design are readily available. The center pivot concept is specifically for addressing the needs of road racing G forces acting on the fuel bowl level. "Off roaders" whose vehicle may be subject to extreme angles would also benefit from this.

Problem for some of us is, you can't run ANY center pivot float on a dual four intake manifold without clearance issues between the two carbs. I've run three different Holley carbs on my dual intake, they ALL had the same problem: Float level to high or to low under extreme cornering conditions. None of them was center pivot of course.

I'm not sure anyone makes a side pivot float carb designed for road racing, or off road use, that will fit on a dual carb intake? If so, I'd buy 'em!!! I can't find anything that works well for auto cross on a dual intake. And I've spent a bunch of money trying, did a bunch of modifications, it aint working.
