At my wit's end

Charging system seems to be running fine. Needle jumps a tiny bit on the Alt Gauge while running but it is minimal. Battery is new but the main wires are original. One of the things I've been planning on swapping out since we bought the car, but because all of that has been working well I haven't touched it yet.

I meant to check the carb base when I was working on the car yesterday. I will check it when I get home. There wasn't a hose going from the carb to the vacuum canister/block that feeds the distributor. I figured that the carb was supposed to connect to this being as it has engraving that says "CARB" with an arrow pointing to a spout. I put a hose connecting them and it ran a little better. Both ends were capped off when we got it.
