Question New Carb

I just replace the stock carb on my '83 F250 4X4 with a 460, manual transmission. On the right side of the carb are what appears to be 2 vacuum lines coming out ig the stock intack manifold. One of them threaded into the holly by the choke and the other one appears to ne just a vacuum line that hooked into the holley. There is not anyplace to hook these up to the Edelbrock. Any suggestions. One of them has the asbestos fabric around it, I assume to reduce heat.

I think what your descrbing is the automatic choke heat tube. This was a part of the stock carb.

You don't have to worry about it with the Edelbrock.

SuperDave,
I think you are correct. It makes sense as far as where the location of these are. I really appreciate your assistance with this.
I also want to thank everyone that contributes to this site, it is a valuable resource.
