Yes, I'd agree with this. Although where does the distributor vacuum advance pipe usually attach? I know it's a small bore tube, but I've not quite worked out where I'm supposed to attach mine, yet (not that I've actually spent many brain cycles looking at it so far).
I believe it attaches here. ...

The pipe on the inlet elbow connects to the pipe on the side of the oil filler tube.

The long pipe coming off your inlet manifold connects to your brake servo.
Very good thanks, mine hasn't got a servo so that'll be getting blocked off
 
If you connect the breather to the inlet it must be before the carb or else it will mess up the idle mixture.
 
Thanks for the replies about the disti advance connection. I've got a.Webber fitted, and hadn't noticed a port on the carb body. There's a tapped hole in the 90 degree adapter between the carb and the manifold, but that's currently blocked off.

The pervious owner had fitted a different Webber for a Fiat, and that seems to have had lots of ports over it, mostly blanked off. I replaced this with the Weber that seems to be a common replacement on Landies (can't remember the actual model number) for less than the cost of a rebuild kit for the 'Fiat' carb(!), and I'd not yet worked out where to attach the vacuum pipe. I guess I may need to fit a port to the adapter.
 
I wonder if yours actually has a different distributor fitted? Mines a 2 1/4 petrol and didn’t have the vacuum advance on the dizzie & I replaced with an electronic one that doesn’t have one either.

Yes, you're quite correct. I do have that port there - I was looking on the wrong side. Many thanks. I think the 'Fiat' carb had the port on the engine side, which threw me. I obviously need a longer bit of hose than I thought I would, to run right around/over the engine.

Nice lights, by the way...look very neat.

@Birdbrain I had replaced by old clockwork dizzy with an electronic one, but both had vacuum advance inlets (or is that an outlet, given it's a vacuum?!)
