In an effort to get it plumbed correctly, I have taken some photos to suppport my questions;

I know this is a vacuum line.

And this vacuum goes to the distributor.

What is this gadget with two spigots? Where do they go to?

I jumped these to the vacuum port in the first photo. Please advise!

Two brass pipes looked like they wanted to be connected. Is that correct?

I plugged these vacuum ports. Where do they go?

Thank you all for your help.

The "two spigots" thing looks to be a hot water choke. Ignore it (we're in Florida!). "Whatisit2" is a by-pass valve, emissions device to limit excess fuel going to atmosphere on deceleration. Controlled by vacuum on the rear carb in "jumper.jpg".

"Morevacuum" should have one line going to the charcoal cannister, IIRC.

Haven't seen or worked on J-H since the mid-eighties, then only a couple came through the shop. The 907 Lotus cars we worked on were converted to Weber or Dellorto carbs.
 
Ray, PM me your email address and I can send you a PDF of a Stromberg manual - It might not go into the detail you need as per Doc's responses above, but if you can use it you are welcome.
