The hose diagrams are posted in color on Pelican Parts, Have been posted here many times, so a search would eventually turn them up. The search function at the bottom of the page will become your friend although sometimes you may have to read a lot of threads to find exactly what you need, but all info is good.

Since you have what sounds to be a single carb setup, cap all of the vacuum hoses. That'll be more than close enough for that setup.

When you get a chance, make sure you throw the single-carb setup as far away from your car as you can. Then take a hammer to it. You might actually be able to turn it into something useful--who knows?

Duals are the only way to go if you use carbs. Yes, you have to sync them up and figure out a linkage. But they actually work reasonably, which you can't really say for the single-carb setup on our engines.

Then you can ignore the distributor vacuum hoses, and hook the head vents and the PCV valve together into a "breather box".
