If you look at the top plane of an intake manifold (where the carburetor mounts) for a SB Ford you'll notice that it's angled down toward the front 4 degrees. This is to compensate for the 4 degree down/back angle of the engine, keeping the carb level. I figured that the 4 degree down/back of the engine was to set pinion angle and the carb mount had to compensate so the carb would stay level.tangerine said:that is interesting. where did you hear that and what is the reasoning for the tilt. I could see for the oil but that would be 0 degrees tilt.

I figured this wouldn't be an issue for a fuel injected car until I read somewhere that it was.
