My question is – what am I supposed to do with the vacuum pipe that originally went into the carb from the vacuum unit on the dizzy?
Any ideas?

Changed my head gasket and fitted my 45DCOE yesterday- very exciting!

Well, I am using a 45 DCOE and am planning to drill and tap where the servo take-off is on the inlet manifold (I have no servo on my Mini).
That way, I can use that thread for a vacuum take-off for now.

My brother came up with some answers:
If you check out this link you'll see item 48 is a take-off for vacuum adavance.
A 45 DCOE has 2 take-offs, one on each choke. He reckons you can either run both into the dizzy using a T-piece, or just connect one.
If you just fit one, it may be best to fit an anti-pulse valve in-line (from a fiesta or similar) to even out the sucky-sucky.
As a parting note he said that possibly the best solution is to fit a mechanical advance dizzy (he runs a mallory) as vacuums tend to be quite on/off and don't allow for engine load like a mechanical one does.
