by the pictures - it seems like you have a later style carburettor with the throttle body heater system. the vacuum pipes are disconnected too. This carburettor should have a thermal operated choke system too.
move the vacuum pods by hand and see if they actually are able to hold vacuum, one going to the secondary throttle is connected to the primary bore, the choke breaker is the one that above the throttle lever with the convoluted rod.
Locate the dashpot, A/C idle up and secondary throttle, - very easy to figure out, connect the dashpot with a special green-white-black slow release filter in between the vacuum line to primary throttle port near the throttle body, When its connected correctly you should feel vacuum signal on the port when the throttle is opened, When the dashpot is working correctly it should take between 1 to 4 seconds for the engine to decelerate from 1800 rpm to 950 rpm on its own.
The choke breaker is either switched by the engine temperature yellow vacuum switch or directly through a slow bleed orifice depending on the carburettor model.
The pod on the air filter is used as a vent valve.
you would need the original 4 way vacuum connector to make it work.
btw - can you post a picture of your distributor advance and any vacuum thing screwed into the side of the cylinder head.
