Hey guys,

Just need a quick confirmation. On my carb float chamber there are 2 port, one with the fuel supply from the pump and there other with nothing on. From my research that is the overflow pipe, seems right to me :w00t:


Sooooo... would that be clever to connect a pipe that leads to the floor away from the exhaust manifold? As I dont really fancy a fire in there should whatever be blocked in the float chamber :'(

Yes it would !

There should be a metal tube that runs down past the clutch housing, mine attaches to that with a short length of rubber fuel hose. Never looked to see where it comes out though :w00t:

Ill try and get a pic later of what mine looks like so you can see where its meant to go :w00t: The piping looks just like normal brake/fuel pipe.

Yeah, aint it 'P-clipped' to the transfer case bolts? It's a long time since I had a look at one! :w00t:

Please do! I think my one is missing to, and theres a strange pipe that isnt connected to anything that goes down by the clutch!

Just had a look at my car, and theres a pipe that runs from where my carbs are down to the front of the clutch housing. The pipe isnt connected to anything on the carb. If i take a picture of it will someone tell me where to connect it?
