@BK911
- may I ask where did you source the vacuum nipple? I've been looking but utterly no luck in finding one.

I know that is where they go but finding a vendor that has them as been super frustrating.

Check the ads on the Samba website. That’s where I found some last year.

I bet a fuel nipple from an RC hobby shop. Should have something that would work and look nice too

some thing like this:

Got mine on ebay. They say they are for DCOE but they are exactly what came installed on my 40IDFs when new, complete with screw plugs.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WEBER-CARBURETOR-M...wEAAOSw-0xYcBQ2

They came from Pierce Manifold so you might be able to get them a little cheaper ordering direct. They are a press fit just like the originals. Here's a pic. The one on top was factory installed. The one on bottom is what I added.

I'm not sure I understand the question.
The vac nipple is part of the carb body.
The nipple is plugged with a small slotted screw.
Remove the screw and the vac nipple remains.

Ok I see it now.
The port I used is a ported not a manifold vacuum.

I personally have never had much luck with vacuum ports on a 205 and just leave it (IIRC) open. But that said it's been ages since I've used one, my carb go to is red cap Mallory that I often mod with a pertronix.

If your cam choice has a long duration you don't have a vacuum signal worth a crap anyways.

First of all thank you for all of the help and responses. I hope everybody had a good week.

When I unscrew what Brock circled I do not have a nipple/fitting for a vacuum line, it’s just open.

The link to the Del shop that @rfinegan with the threaded part number 71 looks like the ticket, I’m assuming the threads on a dell will be the same on a Weber or EMPI?

I'm not sure I'm understanding. The end result is essentially the same with either version. You just need to get a hole into the right location on the carb you can attach a vacuum hose to. I think the only real diff between the del and weber versions is that the del threads in vs a press fit. Here's might with screw plugs removed and hoses attached.
