MG MGA - vacuum pipe to carb connection

The connection for the vacuum pipe between the carb and distributor is on the rear of my front carb, instead of on the front of the rear carb. Does anyone else have this arrangement?

Thanks!

mine is on the rear carb and a bear to remove unless your pulling the carb off.

It shouldn't matter which carburettor you connect to for the vacuum but you may find that the vacuum pipe won't be long enough to reach the front carb. You could I suppose always extend it. I think I would be inclined to modify the rear one to take the pipe and blank off the front connection.
I don't think you can swap the carbs. around because of the exterior linkages..................Mike
