I need a good pic of the distibutor area, or info. the is small pipe that runs from the left off the dizzy diaphram goes to the intake, which is hooked up, but i have lost the pipe for the right side off the dizzy and more to the point i dont know where it goes?

There is only one vacuum pipe, which connects to a spigot on the outside of the vacuum capsule (i.e. the side further away from the body of the dizzy). The spigot on the other side of the vacuum capsule is unused.

There are some Range Rovers fitted with vacuum retard pipes too. At least thats what I think they are.

My 1983 RR is fitted with an Edelbrock dual plane manifold and a Weber 500 carb, the advance side of the assemble has a pipe to the carb and the other side has one to a take off on the manifold.
