Carburator setup

Hello all, I'm working on my carburator I'm trying to see if my automatic choke will work on my 82' F100 with the 300 6 cyl and one barrel carb. I'm tryin to find the schematic on the setup of the carb. Right now I have a hand choke but I want to set up the automatic choke and see if it will work. I need to see where everything hooks up to. I thought I seen the setup on here once but now I can't find it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Numbers - 15mph passes CO% 1.42, fails at 25mhp CO% 2.75 . Took the truck in the fist time, fail. Tried my best to remedy, second time fail. Don't know about a referee.
Ran the truck on the freeway for 30 - 40 mins, timing is good, oil good, have not changed PVC, fuel system clean did awhile ago, both on the list.
One way or the other, Ginger will truck again!
Defiantly has EGR, will have to look in the O2 sensor idea.
Gonna use some sort of fuel system cleaner.
I do have the OG carb, needs rebuild. Rocket hot, will do the half day ride before next check, no doubt.

Thanks all for taking time to reply. Keeping up the fight for Old Iron here in CA.

I had a 81 light duty F-250 with the 300 engine and it failed emissions. I pulled the cat off of it and looked inside and it had broken up into a box of rocks. Put on a new catalytic converter and it then passed emissions, so check that out.
