My 261 in the altered runs an Offy three carb manifold intended for single barrel Rochesters. Last year I ran 3 x 97s using an adapter from Charlie Price. I found the engine over carburated. I have a set of Rochesters which I want to use but I do not want to use the original throttle linkage but rather the Lokar cable that I used with the 97s. Before I get myself into too much trouble, this is what I am doing. I have made adapter plates to rotate the carb 90 degrees putting the linkage parallel to the block. I will run a fuel line between the carbs and the head again parallel to the engine. I don't have flow numbers on the two types of carbs, but this should definitely make my CFM smaller. So far the setup is coming together rather nice. Now my question. By turning the Rochester sideways, will the operation of the carb be impacted?
As always, thanks
Warren
