Re: P.O.'s weber retrofit

[GModelle@domain.elided]

Esteemed Alfisti,
Has anyone out there been able to preserve the fuel vapor separator and the 
induction input from same, with the conversion of Spica to Webers? While I 
rebuild the stock Spica engine for reinsertion, I'd like a word of advice. 
The carbs have K & N filters with no obvious boss for picking up the green 
plastic tube (fuel vapor induction). I thought a banjo fitting might work, 
through a half inch hole drilled in the K & N end-plate. What did the euro 
cars do to solve this...dump gas vapor into the atmosphere?

The spider has a non-original 1750 with no oil vapor system either. I'd 
really like to route the original, but there is no pick-up on the dipstick to 
receive the oil drain. Has anybody been able to work a later dipstick with an 
earlier 1750?

Thanks to all for their contributions. This digest is really great.
