Note that dust, leaves, etc. are optional add-ons to enhance patina and ambiance only. Uh huh.

As you’d said before, the wiring runs across the frame under the radiator. There should be brackets, although not all have survived through the years.

Yep. By the time it gets past the alternator you’re just dealing with a few wires for lights and coil.

Not the prettiest sight but it might answer some questions for you. The surge tank on the strut tower is an add-on.

Anything specific you’re wondering about or just general layout?

Definitely hard chargers, they won their Classic GT class the last two years and had a ninth-overall finish last year -- impressive when you see the array of modern equipment they have to compete with. Some background from 2017: https://www.examiner.com.au/story/4641252/an-ounce-of-passion/ From the looks of it, this photo is of the good side

Borrowing a photo from another thread, you can see the distributor vacuum line going from the fitting on the manifold runner to the left of the front carb. Some manifolds have one threaded hole in each pair of runners, others only have one on the rear pair. From the nipple fitting in this installation, the hose is routed under the front carb and over to the distributor. You can also see part of the arched hose under the plug wires that connects the thermostat housing to the manifold. Ignore the yellow circles from the original post here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/45006-twin-flat-top-su-problems/

Ramflo isn’t as common here as the K&N tuna cans — this might do the trick http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/11-3010. As for the vacuum source, the manifold will have one or two threaded ports on top of the runners you can use. Scrounge around for a threaded nipple that suits your hose size. What you’ll see done with the water line is to loop a section of heater hose long enough not to kink from one fitting to the other, kind of a pigtail. Don’t remember exactly but there may have been a factory hose that did this, once upon a time.
