O.K so I just got my new weber 34`s for my 1.7. I installed them and started the car. Prior to this I installed a new fuel filter and fuel line. The other line was cracking and sort of scary. So my question is related to vacum. It looks like the intakes were made for an advance. They have a port on them so do I just plug it. Also at the bottom of the carb itself there is also some sort of port.My last question is some parts that were missing when I got the car. On the oil fill cap port there is a small elbow coming off of it. It looks like a PCV valve would go there or something but I have nothing. And on the engine block there is another port. Look at the pics and hopefully some one can help. I think the car is close to running but I want to make sure what these are for. Thanks Joe.

Wow almost a disater. I was tuning my carbs and all of a sudden I smell gas.I looked all over the engine bay where I put the new fuel line and nothing was leaking. Out of the corner of my eye I see gas pouring out of the fuel pump and onto the ground.The engine was hot but I lucked out.Nothing blew up but I think thats Gods way of saying enough for today. Well I guess I will be replacing the line under the car too. That stuff is so old and frail.It looks like its leaking at the pump.By the way I suck at tuning carbs. This thing keeps farting and backfiring.
