Got zeniths I assume?

Drill and tap a 3/8 npt hole somewhere on the plenum log, between the two
carbs. I wouldnt put the hole on any individule runner, or your engine
will missfire on that cyl when you press the brake.

Put on a barbed 3/8 NPT bung, and that out to do ya.

For extra credit, use the same bung and a "T" and add a PCV valve.
Run a hose from the crankcases downpipe to the PCV valve, and put
a late "SIV or SIV" oil filler on the tapper cover with flame trap.

This will enhance the life of the engine, or at least the next time you
rebuild it.
