Sid,


The vent on the rear of the pump should have a check valve (just a small ball 
bearing) 
and is for venting ozone produced by points ... an unnecessary vestige on the 
SS pumps,
I suppose.

The vent on the front is required to let the diaphragm move and is the
inlet for the air "pumped" out of the back vent.  Usually, these are covered
with a rubber cap on Healeys (the cap is probably missing on some cars).  I ran
a tube from this vent into the boot ... out of sheer anal retentiveness, I 
guess.
