Manifold Vacuum take off
Can the outlet on the inlet manifold that used to go to the brake servo just be blocked up? Im pretty sure it was on my old manifold, but when i took
it all off to puyt the new one on, i forgot!
Also what are you meant to do with the oulet on the cylindrical thing coming out of the block just under the carbs, sorry i couldnt be more technical!
Can i block it up?
Oh and im using a 2 litre pinto with 45s
Thanks

Yes.
Putting a bolt in the hose and jubilee clip round it is the easiest way but if you can get something the same thread as the union it's more
elegant. If you put mastic round it make sure it sets before you run the engine or you'll suck it into the manifold. Is your Weber manifold
water heated and is the thing you mention the breather, if so don't block it feed it into your filter.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Cylindrical thing under carbs is crank case breather. If you block it up the engine will pee oil out from the seals.

You will probably want a catch tank.

the servo take off can be blocked off with a plumbing stop end, a gas one istr, but can't remember the threads. i ended up with
manifold-reducer-male to male joiner-stop end (- = copious ptfe just incase) take the servo pipe to plumb centre, city plumbing etc and they should be
able to sort you out.
