in the 2nd pic it looks like you have all the hoses connected, which ones exactly are you asking about?

If you don't need to pass emissions you can ditch 80% of them.

Emissions is not a concern and the pic where I have them connected there are some hoses that still aren't connected. So which hoses can I get rid of that wouldn't be necessary??

Ok I'm not standing over your car looking at it but I'll help you the best I can. You need the hose to the vacumm advance. The pcv hose. The one that runs down to the trans modulator and the one for the brake booster. The rest are for emissions related things. GM did do funky things like run the windshield wash pump off vacuum and the heater vents. My pick up is like that but I'm not sure about your car.

Your pic is upside down but I'm on a laptop. Your vacuum advance needs to be on the other side, manifold vacuum. The hose to the trans (thats the metal one with the loop)on the other one. The pcv in the middle of them and the brake booster to the back side. I think the rest of your hoses are going to the charcoal canister. You may or may not want that hooked up. It helps with the fuel smell they say but I can never tell when I unhook one. Pull that T out and run straight to the PCV valve.

Not with his stock distributor. Where he has it hooked up (timed/ported vacuum) is where it wants to be.
The distributor advance (vacuum & weights) isn't "tuned" for manifold vacuum.

Alright guys finally got around on installing my carb and now the dilemma is the throttle linkage?!? Does anyone have and can post a picture of ur throttle linkage and kickdown how you have it connected? I think I may need a new throttle bracket and line to connect to the carb! So any pics would be super helpful thanks! I got a 1405 edelbrock

Here's a link to Summit for that carb. Once you're there you can click on "video" or "instructions" and it will tell you or show you everything you might need.
