SU fuel pipe orientation and route

[Steve Jones]

Yes, agree with Bruce. What I was meaning and, I suspect what your friend was referring to, is that the fuel should enter the carb via a float chamber to the front of the car. It is perfectly possible to turn it through 180 degrees using an appropriate float chamber and that would cause difficulties. Turn the lid through 90 degrees or so to make life easier on the pipe and all 'should' be well.
