Kurtis,
don't think your TR4 should have any emission stuff - at all. Open breather 
cap (wire gauze type), no other holes in the valve cover. Regular air filters 
(wire gauze again- cleaned and oiled every 6000 miles), and a crankcase 
breather exit pipe emitting fumes toward the ground (attached at side of 
engine block reward of fuel pump.

What you've done so far has brought your car to how it was originally set up 
to function - not sure why you would have extra holes in manifold and valve 
cover - one option when new was to have 'vacuum assisted brakes' and they 
would tap a hole in the intake manifold to get suction to operate the vaccum 
unit. My valve cover like many others has a brass bolt/plug in the middle top 
between the two fastening bolts - not sure if they used these covers for 
other cars that made use of the hole there..on TR3s and TR4s it was plugged 
with a nice brass bolt.

good luck with your car - you got a good one!
