The carb boots. Each one has a nipple and a cap or hose on it.
If you've got a standard, #2 & #3 petcocks hook up there.
If you've got a special, #2 is hooked up to the 'octy'/fuel valve.
Hook up your sync rig to those 4 ports.
Make sure you've got the gas on prime, otherwise, you'll run out of gas because either the petcocks won't flow or the fuel valve(octy) won't.
the only port on the carbs is #2 for the vac advance line.Hi, my name is George & I'm a twisty addict!
