PVC valve in valve cover, hose from it to the front center port on carb.

Nipple in rear center port of carb, hose from it to power brake booster

Dist. vac advance can, hose from it to small driver side front nipple on carb.

Plug pass side front small nipple

Fitting/nipple in intake, behind carb on pass. side, hose from it to transmission vac modulator valve if running an auto trans with modulator. If manual trans, then install plug in that hole on intake.

NPT to nipple or NPT to hose barb

Your power brake booster should be 3/8" line

The threads in back of carb is 1/4-18 NPT

So you would need 1/4 NPT to 3/8" hose barb

I buy mine at the local hardware store. Ace, tractor supply, home depot, lowes, etc will all have the fitting you need much cheaper than the auto parts places.
