81 Rochester Carb Setup help needed
Fellow vette owners...I need some help with my factory Rochester Carb. I just bought my 81 and when I did the Original carb was in the shop getting rebuilt head to toe. I picked it up from the shop where it was already engine tuned and ready to simply bolt on and go. Well thanks to previous owner all of the original hook ups for Electric Choke, and the additional 2 electrical connections to the carb were either cut or zip tied out of the way.
Well now I want to hook it up like its supposed to be so I was hoping someone can post an image or two for me so I can visually validate my setup. I did have a Separate thread where I was able to identify the light blue wire from driver side by alternator as the electric choke connection.
But I still I need to know the following:
Hope someone can help and thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

But I still I need to know the following:
- Vacuum Advance vacuum hose from Distributor goes to ??? Vacuum connection on thermostat housing??
- the 3 Prong Plug at front of carb (clear) connects to ?? - I have a black 3 prong male adapter present so I assume thats it ??
- The Blue 2 prong connector on the carb connects to??...now I have 3 different 2 prong connectors present...1 Blue and 2 grey...to me blue = blue...but i have been wrong before and the Smog Pump system is removed so i am assuming some of those may be from that??!!??
Hope someone can help and thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
