Basically, what you have a the Mexico version of the 34 pict, although not
quite. It should have the vacuum port on left for the distributor, but if
you don't need it then it won't matter (but you might wish you did have it,
later). The port at the rear, half way up, is for the thermostatic valve in
the air cleaner. The two others, bottom left and top right are for the
Mexican altitude corrector (due to Mexico City being so high up). I believe
that if you plug these two ports, the jet will act at their base setting for
sea-level.
