Default Fuel Line kit for holley's

I am in the process of buying a fuel line kit for a new to me Holley 0-76750RD Carb and was very surprised at the vast number of options out there. I've learned that this is a 4150 type Holley and I am having a hard time figuring out the thread size/type for the inlets. I've looked at the holley install guide but didn't see anything that gave me that ahh hah moment. This is my first time doing something like this and would appreciate any tips. Thank you in advance.

Also,

This is going on a 400 sbc with the factory fuel pump. I will also have to replace the fuel line and filter going from the pump to the fuel line kit at the carb.

Quick search-- 7/8-20. They are available with hose barbs, AN-8. I'd go with the -8, bend and flare as needed.
I have a Demon carb- different size inlet, but I used a fittings like this after a couple of leaks and a stripped fuel bowl. No more hassle..

Thank you for the confirmation of the inlet sizes and I sincerely appreciate the advice of the AN fitting size.

I found that I will need a bracket for the throttle and transmission cables. I would sincerely appreciate it if help with finding the proper bracket(s). I've looked at the Jegs and Edelbrock bracket reviews and they were not that great. In fact one commenter/reviewer said he was a 79' vette owner. The transmission is a TH350 in my 79.

Thank you in advance.

Also curious if I will need the throttle return spring bracket. Similar to the one in the following link, https://www.jegs.com/i/Holley/510/20-285/10002/-1

I used the original factory bracket for the throttle. Had to do a little dance to get it over the carb stud, but it worked. Don't have the trans cable.
