What vacuum lines do you need hooked up to the carb?

Does it have a model number on it anywhere?

pictures will really help.  You are really making me feel old, the choke is the second butterfly above the primaries.   Depending on which carb it is & whether the car is manual or automatic will determine where & what to hook up for vacuum.   The carb you have is likely the one for an 83-85 HO.

We should be able to help you but a few pictures or a part number will go a long way to help us help you.

If it's a 83-85 stock holley carb, the choke is electric.  It's on the passenger side of the carb.

I got the car to start with just the carb just bolted on. Its started right up on the first try Cheesy I was so happy lol.. Well now I just need a way to give it fuel. Is there a cheap electric fuel pump that I can use? I'll have pics up tomorrow as soon as  I get my new phone. Old one took a shit lol

Number of carb is E4TE-95010-ARA I pulled it off a F:150 truck.. Truck was running when brought in.

Edit: Car is a 5spd aswell.

Looks pretty much like my original.  The little stud on the choke housing is an electrical connector for the heater inside.  Don't have my manuals here to confirm, but I think it was just a 12V supply needed.

Is the 12V suppose to be constant or just when running?

I'd rather not talk about it :/

Pump should be more then enough for a stocker and then some.  It about a 133 LPH equivalent.  May need to play with fittings to adapt to the fuel line unless you're running new ones.

Yes switched 12V.  For some reason, i'm thinking it was powered by the same 12V going to the ignition coil.
