    45 DCOE Angle

    Looked everywhere but cannot find it (yes googled and search function)...

    Is there a range of angle that DCOEs can sit front of engine to rear? From the Weber tuning book I know they need 5 degrees across the engine bay.

    My Pinto and therfore carbs angle down towards the rear of the engine although I have not yet measured by how much.

    Pinto angles down towards the rear but the inlet manifold design makes that the carbs are level.

    Ah OK. I will measure the angle on the top of the rocker cover and the angle of the carbs themselves. Never noticed that the manifold compensates. I am guessing that the angle of the carbs front to back isn't all that critical as cars often drive up and down hills!!
