The front carb has one or two pipe connections.

The rear has two or three pipe connections.

As a pair they should have two and one connections, or three and two
connections.

There are two fule connections on  the rear at 90 deg, and one on the front.

The third or second is where a breather pipe connects clear green with
rubber over it where it connects to the float bowl.  This goes towards the
front of the car and down the radiator onto the ground.  It just keeps
expeled fule away from the hot manifold.  Older ones just have a baffle.

In the top of the float chaimber you will see there is a hole for this.
This needs to be made wider if it's not almost the same size of the breather
connection on the 3 or 2 variaty float chaimber.  This is because modern
fule is so much more volatile than old 4*.
