1st Pic, I'll take a Pic of my 71-C10 or look & see which is what.
Looks like the PO swapped the Valve covers side to side. PCV should be on driver side front and Breather hose should be on passenger side rear but, will work either way.

2nd Pic = Linkage is for the Divorced Choke, should connect to linkage & coiled spring in box but, looks like the parts may be gone or have dropped into box.

3rd Pic = The Detent cable should be hooked where the return spring is on Carb Throttle linkage. There should be a Stud & E-clip in that hole. Return spring can be on same Stud, mine was.

You do need an HEI w/Vac advance, it can be hooked to "Full Vac" port #4 or lower on Carb base "Ported Vac" port. Most stock Cammed engines work better with Ported Vac to Ditributor.
