Why didn't I think about that? I made a webpage several years ago (as in
1999 or 2000) to show someone how the fuel lines were routed. I know it
was about then because I replaced the air filters with the standard ones

A bit grainy due to primitive technology. But I didn't need to have the
cars nearby to figure out the layout.

Fair enough.  My car uses a brass 'T' fitting to split
the fuel line at the front carb.
