I have twin weber 40idfs to fit and an 034 svda distributor for ignition. When i set my float heights last night i found the vac advance ports on the carbs have a blanking screw instead of a take off tube.

I can't remember my last twin carb air cooled set up so was wondering do i need to take off both carbs or will one work properly?

What have you done with your same carb/dizzy set up?

Use the vacuum port on cyc barrel #4. It is located here in green:
Also, recommended is an anti pulse valve. It smooths the vac adv. They can be purchased from Aircooled.net. The Bob Tomlison Weber book talks about it.

Dellorto's only have one port if the were used on Alfa's and the factory fitted the valve you speak of, not sure if the Webers ever had provision for that area in the casting to be drilled ,this can be done on the Dellorto's however.
I researched this on a UK bus website and to be honest I didn't know of this and always thought you could run off one vacuum point,ran single throat ICT's on my buggy with one pickup and it ran fine.
