    :Welcome:from Northeast Pennsylvania - beautiful car you have there!!

    I see that your carbs tilt backwards because those tunnel ram manifolds really don't have any forward angle cut into them to more level your carbs. I found that is the same setup on my Cleveland with the tunnel ram. Do you have any trouble with the carbs working correctly being angled back like that? :)

    I think you need 10 posts under your belt before you can post pictures, unless you have them on another site and can use the http:\.

    BEAUTIFUL car BTW!
