The inlet stubs are where you connect the vacuum guage hoses to, you`ll need to remove the hoses already on them first and set up a gravity feed (higher than the carbs) temporary fuel tank too.
Block off the hoses you`ve disconnected with suitable screws or bolts and remember to turn off the fuel tanks fuel tap. :wink:
You could always make your own manometers (fluid guages), this might be useful to you anyway as it gives plenty of details:
