Interesting. Wonder why it is in a different location.
Another question I have is on the last picture there is a vacuum line that connects to the intake manifold. There is a fitting that doesn’t have anything attached to it and is open. When I am idling and I put my finger over the hole it doesn’t idle as good. What is that supposed to go to?

Ahh, now we are getting some place. So, sounds like you have some vacuum leaks. And then the carb was adjusted to run with them there.
You need to plug the leak you found. Either find a hose that might have slipped off, or get some vacuum caps and plug it. The idle will most likely go down, this doesn't mean its worse, just lower. The vacuum leak will basically act like the throttle is partly open, but without the additional fuel.
Then, get some brake clean or starter fluid, and spray it around any vacuum lines, or the base of the carb. If the idle changes, you found another leak. Once these all get plugged, THEN we can tune the carb some if need be.
