Help real quick, Edelbrock carb

I'm installing an Edelbrock 1406 carb in place of my Holley 80457 carb. They both seem to be almost the same, 600 cfm electric choke.
My problem is the fact that the Edelbrock has a few inlets that I have no idea where they go. And looking at a standard 1406, one inlet is added that I am not sure where it goes. I circled the lines and put notes next to them. Thanks.

NO!
The one in the back facing the pass side is the fuel inlet. The one in the front goes to your pcv valve in the valve cover. If you don't have any emissions hooked up cap all of the other ones except for the one in the back which goes to your brake booster and the one going to the vacuum advance on your distributor.

Alright glad I asked. I'll need to buy more fuel line.

Check out Edelbrock's webpage. They have all the info you need including an installation video.

Yeah I found a manual on their site. Should have just done that first but I didn't think of it.

Ok so now a new issue. Well it isn't really new, more like this happened on the Holley that was on there too. Two days ago it was running fine, started right up each time. The idle was low, lower under a load when I was sitting at a light, but nothing I was worried about. Yesterday I try to start it, nothing. I almost had a belch and that was it. It wouldn't start. I tried holding the throttle down, I tried almost everything except spraying starting fluid down it. Fuel looks like it is going into the carb. A friend said it might be the fuel pump. Now, my gas gauge totally died right around the same time all of these problems first began with the Holley I had, it reads full all the time. Could these two even remotely be related? I'm sure I have a mechanical pump. Thanks.

Did you run out of gas?

No, there's fuel in the tank and you can see fuel going through the filter.
