Hey guys, getting ready to put the head and intake onto my 292. My question is regarding carb installation. I've seen some install the carb north-south, parallel with the engine, and some east-west, perpendicular to the engine. Does it really matter which way it sits? Isn't the fuel going to be pulled into the manifold no matter which way it mounts? I'm using a 400 cfm Demon Holley-style carb to start with, Clifford intake, lump port, 1.60-1.84 valved head. It seems it would make life easier keeping the linkage as a pull type, as opposed to having to tap the intake to mount a bellcrank of some sort. Advice is greatly appreciated.
