[DeTomaso] Solution for fuel sloshing out of rear float bowl

[klckmac at msn.com]

Just wondering,
 
According to Moroso below, the idea IS to have the carb tilted forward, not leveled. If our carbs in the stock Pantera setups are already tilted forward, why level them, or am I misinterpreting something here? Is the stock angle in the Pantera too much? By milling the original intake to level the carb, are we defeating the purpose of the hard acceleration and front end lift?

 From Moroso's web page:


To keep carburetor float-bowls “level” during acceleration, some amount of mounted carburetor angle is necessary 
Moroso’s wedge plate tilts the carburetor forward 5° to provide the optimum angle during quick acceleration and front-end lift

If you mean an angled carb spacer, Moroso makes one-I have it.  Just call one of the performance warehouses and have them look in the Moroso catalog.  I think I got mine from Summit-it's a 6* angle and was about $26 iirc.

Or, you can just buy an angled spacer.   Mikael Hass just bought one of 
those, I think?   From Summit.   I just searched and couldn't find it 
though--I'm searching with the wrong search terms. :<(
