 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.
