302 carb to replace tbi

I just got a carburetor off of a 1979 Ford Thunderbird and am going to put it into my 1985 Ford Crown Vic. The Crown Vic was originally TBI but I am replacing that because it will be going into a demolition derby.

My question is where do all of the vacuum lines go that are on the carburetor? I pulled it out at one of them U Pull and Save places. Some of the lines coming off of it werent going to anywhere. They might have been pulled off by someone else. So right now, I am at a loss. Do those lines have to connect to anything? If so, where?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Brandon

If you are running a derby car, then I would just hook up the PCV valve, brake booster if you use one and the vacuum advance. The vacuum advance should go to the port on the passenger side of the carb near the bottom just ahead of the choke assembly.
