Re: Carb advice wanted
If that carb was sitting directly on top of that gasket in pic 2 post #11, your idle problem is likely found. You need a gasket that matches the 4 holes in your carb. Looks like someone improvised a bad substitute for the adapter plate you need between a spreadbore Q-jet type of manifold and the squarebore 1405.
As for the cleaner bucket, as long the cleaner is for carbs dunk away. A used toothbrush makes a good cleaning brush.
While is it apart, check out what jets, rods and spring color you have.
Possible that manifold port gizmo was off an emission engine with extra vacuum gizmos to hook up. The loop just plugged up the unneeded ports. The line to the transmission helps the transmission pick shift points.
