Unioncreek, what Tech says is right. Three degrees is about 5/8 inch in a foot so, looking at the engine in the car, it isnt noticeable.

When you say that all the carbs are on the same plane, you mean that the carb mounting flanges all line up if you put a straight edge across them......even if they are cut at 3 degrees, they all line up (if they are cut as a unit, not individually).

You can check the angle with an angle level.....put the level on the driveway and measure that and then put the level on the carb flange. The reading should be different...by the tilt in the mounting. (Slightly different results in San Francisco, your angle may vary, not valid in the Bermuda Triangle, etc.)
Dont know about whos right or wrong on the degree if any at all i dont know never set up the transit as far as what tech said, but i know i was right on what i stated, for i was thinking tilt as in my 89 f150 the 302 is tilted close to 2" from front to rear and my ol 390 might have been maybe a 1/2" for i built and raised it to help clear the headers i put on it, so as for what i was saying earlier if you read the article i stated a 2 x 4 med riser worked on mine and there was no motor in it from the way factory had made so like i said i cant say what it was like from the factory.
