Dan, on your "new engine", you'd be better off to hook up a PCV valve on the passenger vale cover, use a PCV with a right angle fitting on it, run the hose to that large port on the right rear of the carb, has a large cap on it now.

Once you start driving it any you'll also be way ahead to hook up the vacuum advance and make sure it's working. Big gas mileage gains there.

Throttle rod from pedal should be in the top hole where the spring is now. There's a little bushing gizmo available for the big hole. move the spring to the hole right under it or run it off the bottom lever back to a bracket or whatever.
