1966 Porsche 912 with 1968 engine. We have these ports coming off the inside-side of the manifolds. Each one has what seems to be hardened rubber tube (not sure if it was always hard or if it's just hardened with age) ending in a screw coming off of it. You can see pictures of it with and without. It's not actually part of the carb. I can't locate it in either of our manuals (912 Handbook and Clymer). Our best guess at this point is something to do with the primitive emissions system. Does anyone know?

Its a plugged vacuum port for the vacuum retard of the 061 distributor. _________________ Glenn

Back in the 80"s " I think it was the 80's" here in cali to meet smog we had to install a "nox" reduction kit. Seems to me it had a vaccum plate like this as well. "I knew I was going to miss those brain cells" _________________ pax
