Looking at the Edelbrock catalog, looks like most of the Victor intakes have a level carb pad so the carb will tilt back when bolted on the engine. I thought most intakes have the carb angled down toward the front to have the carb level on the car. Do you guys with Victors just run it this way or have the carb pad on the intake angle milled to have the carb level when on the car? I just got a Victor for my FE and it looked kinda weird when I sat the intake and carb on the motor and had the back side of the carb lower than the front.
