So after few days stalling (no pun intended), I decided to pull the carb off my mk2 escort and send it away for a rebuild.
In doing so I thought it would be a good time to document the butchered fuel and vacuum system on my car... For anyone that's interested, here is a link to a PDF with my photos and notes.

Any feedback from the community with regard to bits that should be connected/reconnected, or can be entirely removed to tidy things up without causing issues is welcome.
I had previously posted about this, but this time round it's a little more comprehensively documented.
