Hello, Due to the aging state of my twin Solex carbs and my desire to spend some money, I recently bought dual Weber 34 ICTs and started fitting them today. My car is a 69 Auto Fastback which originally was from South Africa and therefore never had fuel injection or encountered much rain. Here are some questions for the gurus out there: 1. There is / was a metal pipe at the back of the engine that runs from each carb and connects to a pipe at the bottom of the manifolds and then runs out of the engine bay back towards the transmission; what does this do? Is this redundant as my new manifolds for fitting the Webers do not have this pipe? 2. I don't know if anyone is familiar with Weber 34 ICTs but there is a small tube that comes out from the bottom of the carb just where they bolt on to the manifold, what does this do and is this connected to the first issue raised above? As always grateful for any T3 wisdom ;) Cheers, Nick Dabanovic 69 Fastback 66 Bug ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
