You can tap it into the intake. What kind of carb do you have again? Is it a 45? You can drill and tap a hole above the gas level in the float chamber and run the lines to a T fitting and route it that way.

real rb dellortos are all 48 im pretty sure. it also should have a spacer on the accelerator pump gasket and i think the main emulsion tube is crossdrilled to flow more fuel. the ones for 12a were tapped for omp.

Without taking anything off, midwest is right about the spacer, on mine its black and round, between the wellcover and accelerator pump diaphram about 1/6" or so wide. Also on the top cover, one of the screws should have a numbered tag on it, give me the numbers and Ill see if there close to mine? lol

You should be able to tell by what midwest told you though, if your in doubt, or theres no spacer, Take the main top cover off and the brass screw heads on the left and right. Carefull now those are the check *****, theres supposed to be a weight above the checkballs but it looks like racing beat took them out. Ohh and the progression screws are right next to your idle mixing screws, they are larger brass ones, take one off real fast, how many holes do you have? Usually they have 3 or so, but mine has like 6 or more, that is prolly the best way to check.
