Jeeze, it doesn't take a degree in mechanical engineering to devise a wedge-shaped adapter to go between the manifold and carb base plate... to correct the bad angle.

As sharp as some of these guys are, I can't believe they didn't just whip out an angle-milled adapter plate to cure that problem.

What am I missing here? You said it was for street cars; no tech interference.... and, it could be of aluminum, and not very thick at all (no hood clearance issues.)

Can't imagine anybody smart enough to get their hands on one of those cars, that couldn't figure THAT out....

What am I missing?????????
