Right... This is a bit strange now! That 10mm tube is probably a vacuum pipe. It's used for the vacuum assisted braking... On 2 litre models!
The 1.6 CT setup doesn't have these as there is no brake servo on 1.6 litre vans.
I have one on mine because I have a 2 litre van (which has the servo) but with a 1.6 litre engine installed. This meant I had to drill into the manifold, tap a thread and screw in a fitting to accept the vacuum pipe. The pipe runs from the front of the van (under instrument cover) to the engine compartment and comes out on the top left side of the rear engine bulkhead where there is a non return valve in the line. It then connects onto the manifold.
Double check but if this is not needed, block it off.
The fuel return line can be blanked off with a small length of fuel line pushed over it, a round 'plug' pushed up inside the fuel line and clips to hold everything securely in place.

nice 1 thanks its a 1982 van a 1600 on the log book and definnatly got a ct so ill have a look tomorow and if not just blaNk them off thanks

Ooh... I learn something every day!
Cheers for that!

sorted carb and found the pipe leading to the servo all connected beutiful
now does any1 no the rightway this jigsaw called tinware goes or are there any diagrams kickin about only its bafflein my brain also could do with some replacement parts as mine seems to have seen better days

Major back fire no timing marks on crank pulley
I can remove both left hand leads and it still runs as it did before
Also it doesnt get warm on 3&4 manifold i can still touch the exhaust after half hours running
any ideas I'm off to get a brand new seccond hand cylinder head tomorrow if that don't work then I'm fubar

have you got the leads on right?

Yes all leads on right new plugs leads coil cap and arm I'm stumped and it's doin my heed in in desperate need of some help

whats your location?

i wouldnt be buying anything until some one with some experience has a look

swap the plugs with the other side , check valve gaps
check lead position .
make sure cap is good.
make sure there is no air leaks on manifold

I'm located in Rotherham south yorks and don't know any yocal experts I thought it might have been a leaking servo effecting the left bank but I removed and blocked the pipe off and it made no difference I've got equal compressions across the cylinders what should I set the valve clearance to?

Number 3 misfiring 4 running fine but 3 has a definate miss how can I adjust this please help
