Single Barrell Stromberg off a Holden 186 isn't bad, side draft Rangie Strombergs are also good. Basically look for a deep fuel bowl rather than a wide one, so the pickups have more chance of staying imersed in fuel at angles.

The carby guru I use reckons the Subaru Brumby carby is excellent for angles! :D

most ppl on here reckon webers are shit but mine works well on side angles and up steep hills. See the yanks must be onto something coz to them its a common mod for a zook

most carbs can be modified to improve their running on steep angles, rerouting the bowl breathers , fitting slosh tubes ,vent baffles are a few that spring to mind all are easy mods.

Thanks 360 scout.
I have a holley with gas on at the moment but it is lacking power, so i am also thinking of fuel injection.
