Bob-
I don't see a place for crankcase breather to go to the weber, so I'll
follow others advice and simply route into the airstream below the car.
I have the first two hoses you list for the carbon canister, but the third
is simply not connected to anything. Is there a provision on the weber for
this? If not, should I plug it or leave it open?
Also, on most of the picture's I've seen of b-series engines with the weber,
the air filter box is rectangular. Mine is round. Any signifigance to
this?
Thanks!
