Here are the hoses coming off the carbs.

Starboard side plugs into the hood that covers the carb intakes. Port side runs down into the block... couldn't get a good pic of that.

I'm happy with this set up. My switch panel is down below the dash where your DAN sticker is... you can't see it on this picture. Yours wouldn't fit there, though. I think this one was about $100.
