I was wrong, and I have no idea what I'm doing.
First off, with the intake:

What are the leads for? The black thing on the top appears to have a portion of the black rod snapped off. Should I be worried?
I was doing research and kept on reading things about vacuum lines and break lines and tons of different tubing being hooked up to the carb. However when I looked in my engine bay, aside from the fuel line, I could only see three other unhooked tubes.

I really have next to no knowledge on this car, and all my research hasn't yielded me anything specific to my situation. I have a friend who says he knows what to do, but he's flaky and I really want to get this car on the road and enjoy the beautiful fall in a beautiful convertible.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
