Thanks matt :lol:

I got confused as I'm been told I have pollution carbys, never heard of that
And I should be plumbing it into the other holes.

Yes I knows it simple but carbys are a bit of a black magic to me I wanna make
Sure they run great!

At least I can say I built that car oh and put them pipes on as well hehe

Cheers mate! :)

Nick, the vac ports on those carbs replace the PCV valve on the intake manifold that was used on Cooper S etc.
It works pretty well and needs no maintenance, as there's no valve.
