Default Choke Tubes question/help...

I have a 64-1/2 260 v-8, 3spd manual coupe. I bought a choke tube kit from CJPony. I know one tube goes from the right side exhast manifold up to the threaded fitting on the side of the choke enrichener on the right side of the carburetor. That leaves another piece of bent metal tubing, a piece of rubber tubing and an "S" hook. Where do they go? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is an upper and lower tube. The clip holds them together.

Ok. That is very helpful. So it looks like it goes into the hole on the side of the ~1" round port on the bottom of the manifold. The top connect to the angled port on the right side of the carburetor? I noticed that mine had an additional hole in the bottom of that port. Normal or not? I noticed there was a rebuild kit for the round part. How do you get the old one out and how does the new one get put it?

Also, does the "s" clip in your picture clamp over the white covering or did you slot it?

Any additional photos or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yep, the brass tube.

I doubt you need it. The old one unscrews.

Right over the insulator.

Do you think I need to seal up that additional hole in the picture I posted with a spot of weld or sealant?
