These ones use a plastic tee piece to join the 2 holes together into one single cross line.
the auto Type 3s havea another take off tube in the mioddle of teh cross tube that attached to the Auto vacuum modulator that tells the auto when
to change gear with the correct amount of suction on the modulator
These are the late Type 3 carbies the little plastic tubes tend to get brittle n are hard to find good ones. They attach with a bit of flex
cotton covered rubber flex tube
the earlier twin mainfolds only had 1 vacuum take of port, i can only presume that VW made them a twin port balance line in order to get more
suction to operate the Auto modulator and standardised it and the mainfolds on all models.
