Don't know if it was smog or what. My 69 has a return line that was
plugged when I got it. It had SUs for a couple of years and Solex since.
Never had any problems.

The factory Solex does have a port. At least the one I have does, are
there more than one "factory" Solex aircleaner ?
I'm using K&N units so no port for breather, just a small filter on the
breather hose.

Yes, only one for the Solex. Is there a "factory" choke cable for the
Solex cars ? I don't remember offhand what I did, either cut one cable off
or curled it up under the dasd or what ?

Hopefully my spring project will be getting the roadster back on the road,
but then I've been saying that for years.
Excuse used to be space, time, and money. Space is not a problem anymore.
Money is so so, but time is still a biggie.
