Dwell meter for recently rebuilt carb

Have a pic here hoping that the dwell meter will work for my car. I've kinda cobbled this thing together, I'm pretty sure the e4me I had rebuilt and setup by mountain man is off a early 80s truck, it's missing the k port I believe to the charcoal canister purge so I hooked that vacuum to another port. Have a vacuum gauge for in the cab coming. Haven't set the tps yet, have my heated O2 wired and powered. Seems to run pretty well at idle but am excited to tinker some more! Any advice or criticism is welcome haha. I love this car and it's getting close to the finish line.

Yep. Simple and vintage and all you need on 6 cylinder scale. A compatible scan tool will probably be tougher to come by, but enjoy and learn the basics at first.
