hill461,
I have a serious question for you regarding fuel level...
Tom Vaught had previously posted that the Rear/Secondary Fuel Bowl was designed with a Higher Float Level "Indicating/Sight" Hole due to the Angularity of the Engine Mounting in the Vehicle's Chassis. He stated that the Hole in the Secondary Float Bowl was placed higher due to the angularity of the "Factory Engine" placement and therefore the angularity of the fuel in the Rear/Secondary Fuel Bowl.
My question is this:
Did you take this into consideration when adjusting your float levels?
Because, what you're saying is that, with the vent Whistles/Extenders installed in the metering blocks, that Fuel Slosh was so bad that it Flooded the Boosters.
Did you have the Whistles/Extenders Installed?
I'm trying to understand why mounting the carbs. sideways effected the fuel bowl vents so drastically. Considering that the fuel Wash/Slosh experienced by the primary Fuel Bowl Vent would be much greater with the carburetor mounted normally.
Thanks,
Larry S.
