Some SUs have a hole in the damper cap, some have a vent in the web at the top of the dome. See the picture. You have to take the damper out to see the hole.<br clear="all">

Anyway, you only want one hole per carb, either in the cap or the dome. If needed you can plug the damper cap.<br clear="all">

The TC would have a damper with a brass cap, best to get one of those.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
