I am going thru a bunch of Slant parts I aquired long ago to start my first Slant build. My intentions are to build a foot brake bracket car that I can also use to go get ice cream in. I have a clifford intake that has been angle milled in both directions.
Front to rear 2.5 degrees I understand this so during hard acceleration the carb is level.
What I don't understand is that it's also been angle milled left and right 2.9 degrees with the left side being the low side. Can anyone tell me the reason behind this ? So what should I do with this leave it or mill it flat ?

Roundy track racing?

Are you saying "as if" you were in the driver's seat, the carb leans left?
 
That's stock, it's the way most Slant-6 intakes are made because there's about that much front-back tilt on the engine in its normal installed position.

ok I figured it out where the intake runners meet the head is also angled. So when you tighten down the intake to the head its all square.
