super six now where the heck do all these vacuum ports go to?

That widget on the side of the air cleaner is an OSAC valve. It does nothing good, just worsens your driveability and fuel economy. Originally there would've been a vacuum hose connected from that widget to the carburetor, and another from the widget to the distributor. Take the widget out of the line; run the hose directly from the carburetor to the distributor. Life's much better that way.

The large nipple on the underside of the snorkel, and the two small nipples on the underside of the round part of the air cleaner body, are for your thermostatic air cleaner. This system is all benefit and zero drawback, so it should be in good working condition. One of the small underside nipples gets manifold vacuum from a port on the carb, the other nipple goes to the nipple on the round vacuum actuator perched atop the snorkel. The large nipple on the underside of the snorkel gets a flex duct running down to the sheetmetal "stove" surrounding the central collector portion of the exhaust manifold.

Carburetor operation and repair manuals (including diagrams showing what port is for what purpose) and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download.

Info on the thermostatic air cleaner system is here and here. (Yes, I still have some sensors left in stock)
