If these are the crankcase breather pipes then - 2" hose from cam cover
to T piece, hose from T to large input of each carb (rear of l/h front
of r/h).

Or carb overflow pipes which come out of the front of each carb to a T
and than down to rhs if crank pulley to the road (may be different on US
cars).

T piece connected to rear of air box and pipe from T to each carb elbow
via a rubber elbow.

fixing nut.
