I'm a complete noobie to Model A's, but I thought that linkages line up better if a B carb is used with an A manifold. If I recall correctly, it has something to do with the flange on a B manifold being angled slightly that then puts the carb at an angle. To gain the performance benefit, I also understand that the A manifold needs to be bored to match the larger B carb. I also have a B carb to put on an A and would like to know if my understanding and/or information is correct, or all messed up.
