Is that a Continental O-320 (if such a thing exists)? The Lycoming
O-320 operator's manual suggests that all Lycoming O-320's have the
carb underneath:

My Lycoming has the carb behind the engine. It is nearly directly underneath
the oil filter. The induction pipe runs forward from there into the sump.

Putting the carb back by the accessory drive would probably mess up
the distribution quite a bit. How well does your engine run lean of
peak?

Not real well. Once you get lean of peak, the engine gets real sensitive to the
mixture. Very slight adjustments make for very large rpm changes. It doesn't
shudder so much as just die.
