Yep, same intake I used when I had a SBC in my truck. If you think that looks odd a Tranchula intake was slanted even more.

Are you using the divider? I never had one.

Yeah, that old Tarantula had the carb twisted about 30°.... definitely weird looking.... but they did get the runners a bit more equal. Still, it wasn't a very good design, at least I never knew any really fast cars that had them.
