Experts tell me it doesn't matter.
If transmission linkage is an issue, I can see using that configuration. I cut the Ford kick-down parts off my Holley 390 -- I run the SM465 manual.
Very neat A/C set up, BTW.

I understand your logic, but to me it was about the way I thought the carb should be facing. Also connecting the linkage for both throttle and transmission seemed easier to me. That being said it seems to perform just great even though I have only made a few short trips with it. One bad thing about it sitting this way is if you need to adjust the hight speed idle you have to pull the carb to adjust it, but once done everything's fine.
