Float bowl direction

[JP.]

Why do float bowl's allways point towards the front of the car.

Is there a reason for this?

Why, have a tripple 40 setup which I want to build but as our controls are on the otherside in Holland ( gas,brake, steer etc) its easyer for me to turn the carbs around pointing the floats to the back.

Not sure! on side drafts they point sideways, either left or right depending on it being pinto or xflow etc

Just bought a book "Weber carburators" by Pat Graden where is stated fuel bowl shoult always be pointed to the front of the car.

 

After reading it several times I still don't know why & why it wont work backwards.........
