Hi guys need a little advice re my engine swap

1. ive been told i need a 1.2 up fuel tank as my 1.0 one doesnt have a return pipe feed? now ive looked on the carb but cant see a return off it? might have missed it but thought id ask?

2. On the dizzy theres a oval metal thing (i believe its for the vacuum advance retard thing? howver the fitting has broken clean off will this be a problem? (ido have a spare though) and where does thie pipe come from onto the said fitting on the dizzy?

3. With the wiring i have a small loom im assuming all i need is a igniton live to the coil+ and plugs the connectors in on the dizzy amp and coil?

any help is appreciated

If it is, there is a return feed i thought they were next to each other, if not it maybe off to the right a little.

14NV, that'll be the twin choke 2e.
good carb, but the auto chokes a bitch on it.

u might get away with keeping your tank and recirculating the return pipe back into the feed pipe possibly.
