x-flow angle
when installing a x-flow (1300 with 2v webber, standard on ghia), am i right in thincking that the venturies of the carbereter that need to be
vertical, or should it be that the to of the block is horisontal?
Also, i have herd that the block is ideal off set 3/4inch to the near side, but this means that on a book chassis the front UJ would hit the side of
the trasmission tunnel?

Q1: if the carb is reasonably close to horizontal then it doesn't matter much - when compared to acceleration & decelleration a bit of tilt
is irellevant!
Q2: Mark out the chassis centreline. Drop a line down vertically from the centre of the crank pulley. The line should be 19mm (3/4" ) to the
nearside of the centreline. The engine should be parallel to the centreline. I'd be very surprised if this put the propshaft anywhere near to
the tunnel side.
Happy building!
