@drift - when I put in my dual 34 weber, I moved (rotated) my dipstick to counter clockwise, and made a mount out of a $0.50 shelving "L" bracket that I bolted one end on the top of the head using the 2 bolts nearest the cam wheel on the driver side and the other end to the original mount bracket that's welded to the dipstick tube.. I'll try and get a pic up tonight or tomorrow to show you...

don't use the brake booster tee, there should be a tee on the carb to use

Unfortunately, there is only one vac port on the DFEV and that is for the vac advance... hmmm...

I have an idea of what you are talking about, but not totally sure, a picture would be good. And yeah, maybe make a T on the dist. advance for the vapor? Or would that lead to vapors inside of the dist?

No, putting a T to the canister off of the dist advance port would cause the advance to not work. As the RPMs rise, so does the amount of suction from the dist port on the carb, which int turn pulls ont the vac advance... if you put a T on the vac advance port on the carb and connect it to the canister, it would pull air from path of least resistence (the canister) and the vac advance wouldnt work correctly... Does this sound about right?
