Ask 12 people and 6 will tell you there is no difference and 6 will tell you there is. Sorry, but that's what you'll find.

I like my Holley 390 on an Offy intake with the primaries to the driver's side away from the head! |

A lot of people orient the carb with the primaries forward as it makes the transmission throttle pressure linkage easier. I like mine oriented for best mixture distribution and I have a manual trans. My plugs are very evenly colored with the primaries to the left. When I ran a Holley on an unheated Clifford intake with the primaries to the left the end cylinders (1 and 6) appeared to be richer than the others. My next slant will have a Clifford intake so I will try the primaries to the right and see what the plugs tell me. |
