I guess I don't have them then, just looked at those tubes and there is
no screws other than the three allen bolts that hold it to the head and
the clamp that holds it to the carb. I did notice a hole on the intake
side of the carb that appears to be plugged with a flat surfaced type of
screw, almost as if it was screwed in but has no head (flat tip or
phillips head) to unscrew them, wonder if this could have been the
attach point? I'll have to run over to Cam's house sometime and take a
look at his Eldo to see if it's any different.

 Where are these screws? On the carbs? I am having a brain fart here on
where the intake manifolds are. BTW, I have individual K&N's on the
carbs. I sort of remember taking out a screw somewhere on the carb,
inserting these adapter pipes, and sliding the hoses over them, just
can't recall where to insert these adapter tubes. Perhaps I need to
pull the sidecovers and take a look on the inside area of the carbs.
The area on the carb I was checking out before was right next to the
banjos, its a tube sticking out just like the fuel mixture tube - I
guess it's universal for multiple applications and you just use one side
for the mixture screw and plug the other. Can you please be specific
where I should look for this screw? Is it near the mixture or idle
speed screws? On the opposite side near the banjo?

Thanx!

My '72 Eldo does have screws in the intakes...
