When people hot rod their L6 to sport a four barrel, then there's some discussion. Some folks think the truck won't go forward properly if the carb is oriented sideways.
The other school contends that the carb should be aligned so the primaries open equally over both plenums for cylinders 1-2-3 and 4-5-6. Not primaries opening over 1-2-3 and secondaries over 4-5-6.
And some ''experts'' say it's too close to matter unless you're drag racing.
Personally, I don't mind a sidesaddle carb. In fact it's easier to tune it over the drivers side fender, than bellyflopping across the radiator. But it's a free country.
Where do you find an offy with two plenums?
It’s all one one plane inside just like a single plane intake.
