Paul,
I have a kit for a Holly that is specifically made to allow leaning. I
think it is for a 2-BBL. I saw a V-6 Chevy installed in an RV-6 that
was using this method, so I have to assume that it worked. Do you know
if these are still available? If you don't want to use a Holly, then
maybe this unit could be made to work with your latest version of the
slide-throttle which incorporates the fuel bowl.

That is a good idea Mark. I wonder if that company is still in biz.
It is not clear to me how it works.

I'm no expert in carbs but it seems as though the 'Holley Electronic Carburetor
Kit' is a replacement for the float bowl with the external adjustment screw having
an electric motor attached to it. If this is a authentic Holley product,
I doubt it's still in production as they have no mention of it on their website.

Here is an exerpt from a very old reference I found for the 2-bbl Holley 4412 carb:



The mechanical leaning device is an aluminum plate that fits between the lost bowl and the carburetor body. ( "lost bowl" could be a typo, but this is what the author typed. - M )

Turning a lever at the top of the plate allows more or less fuel to the jets.

You can contact Tom McNeilly at: 14001 E. Williams Field Rd, Gilbert,
AZ 85234, PH: 602-899-7613. The price for the latest version is $75 (in year 1993).

Another person to ask would be Mr Jess Meyers of Belted Air Power,
active and located in Las Vegas.
