Moroso makes open plenum ones at 5 deg. There are 4-holers made but they all seem to be 8 deg or more. Possibly someone makes a 4-holer 5 deg one somewhere.

Offenhauser® part number 5584 was the 1960s-1980s general catalog 5° degree model the 427 Cobra version was based on.

Summit Racing® lists that number online but there is no picture.

There are two reasons why the carbs lean forward.

Any Holley suffers incorrect metering from acceleration g force.

Dual quads facing BACKWARDS is even worse for the first carburetor that you spend the majority of time on.

The Primary of the front carb is closest to the middle of the two primaries, hence why it leads first, and only this carb needs the choke mechanism.

Adding wedges now to correct this places the carbs on different levels, so the linkage could be wrong.

One piece aircleaner also won't fit.

Based on the CSX31xx car induction system I repaired, two each modifications were day one required of the stock Ford linkage system to eliminate serious binding. Shelby American also replaced one of the fuel inlet fittings with a banjo type fuel inlet fitting for inlet hose clearance because of new system geometries. The special fitting was 427 Cobra unique.

Yes, Summit has them, I just ordered 2 of them. I don't think it will be a problem with the throttle binding with a ERA car. Thanks for the info....
