Default HELP!! Two More Issues Before "fire up"

Hey guys:
#1) I need to solve two more mysteries before my car breaths life again. I'm trying to locate a three port intake manifold vacumm fitting. The ports need to be horizontal to the manifold. My old one is shaped like a cross and will not work with my carb. Can someone steer me in the right direction??
#2) I've been looking for throttle linkage to accept a throttle, kick down, and cruise cables. I like the kind of bracket that mounts to both rear carb bolts, but anything that will work at this point would be great. I think I need two seperate ones, for the cruise mounts alone. I have a 750 Holley on a Performer EPS. Please Oh please point me in the right direction..
Ya know, the minor details in this engine build have been enough to drive me to drink!! (as if I needed an excuse) Finding manifold/engine plugs..fuel pump fittings, vacumm fittings etc... have gotten the best of me and have been the biggest factor in delaying start up......
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
Thanks as always....
Eddie
