Welcome from Texas

That's a lot of vacume hoses.

yeah i wonder why some trucks have so few vacuum lines while others will have what seems like dozens! Guess it depends what all they're runnin

Take lots of pics, post them,and show us what you find when you get the carb off.Not because we're nosey but so we can help.

No.

You can admit that here...

OP here, still have to button things up but I've joined the Holley hivemind. Had some initial problems but it runs good now.
Gave the truck a neanderthal vacuum lobotomy at the same time, converter may not lock up but that's a problem for warmer weather.

Cause over the decades most of that stuff has been removed in the idea of simplicity or performance or economy.
