Tunnel ram or no tunnel ram...

Actually, I’ve seen a single carb sideways. I have no clue what the benefit would be though. Unless you were leaving hard enough you couldn’t control the rear float. Turning it sideways would allow you to run wedge cut floats which MAY help with that. That’s only a wild assed guess.

So single carb does not suffer from fuel issues you first mentioned above from being mounted inline straight ahead but dual carbs on a tunnel ram do? Which is it?
