Ahh... good.  1V is bona-fide eco block.

The IP has a boost pressure line going to the aneroid, so that's a true LDA.

There is not any hose to the dashpot, just the hardline shown in earlier pix. Not sure the effect the missing locknut will have.

My son reports that he adjusted the accelerator cable. Now, when the rpms get up a bit into boost range there is a significant surge of power through all gears ranges and you can feel the additional torque. He says when the boost cuts out it is no longer gutless, it just doesn't have as much power.
