Default Linkert Emulsion Tubes

So I'm digging though a bunch of carb parts and found that I have 2 emulsion tubes for the Pan carb. Which one is the best?

Pretty sure Palmer talks about the tubes and which one is for which carb, give it a look in the Book.

The holes face to the throttle blade - the bikes G force is so great compared to a Twinkie it needs the extra flow that gives it as its a real mans bike

Wouldn't it be better to have the holes face face forward? Under acceleration you get more fuel?

As i understand it - at the rear the Venturi sip has the greatest amount of vacuum on the nozzle
