Working through the less than stellar instructions for the installation of my dual Webers. Beside having obvious errors in them it is not entirely clear which direction the cross bar should be pointed. To the front or the rear. I have not started placing the carbs on the car yet so the moment I move from the bench it may become clear but I think the front is correct. The directions seem to indicate that but if you install the linkage as shown one side of the crossbar link to the carb ends up at the front and the other at the back?

Wow that made a big difference. Still have a little bit of bogging at lower rpm. At about 2700 it really kicks. I am thinking I need to increase the idle jets from 60 to 70.
