[Diy_efi] mounting a GM tbi 'horizontal' versus 'vertical'

[Torbjörn Forsman]

I have once tried to mount a GM TBI horizontally (or, 15? slanted) in 
place of the Stromberg carb on an old Volvo B20 engine. Absolutely no 
idle problems. The only difficulties were adaption of the TBI to the 
different size of the engine.
