I have a pair of AUD465 HS4s out of a 71/72 MGB that I am prepping for 
my 77B and I have yet another question that the manuals don't address!

On the Rear float bowl there are two ports (intake and overflow), but on 
the front float bowl there are three ports.
I may have figured it out, but I need to know for sure.
Does the front bottom port work as fill, one of the top ports is 
overflow to the rear float bowl and if both float bowls are full the 
third port on the front carb is overflow to the charcoal canister??

TIA 
Erik.

BTW: For people in the same boat (converting from one to two carbs), 
save yourself the money on gaskets and just buy a roll of gasket paper 
and trace and cut. At 85¢ each for six carb gaskets, it is way cheaper 
to buy a roll of gasket paper for $3 and cut them out.
