Great point, I guess retooling is not cost effective for the manufacturers so they let the consumer figure it out

question for you alls do we need to put some sort of gasket, oring, washer inside the hard line fittings to mate it to the carb, I put mine metal on metal and I am wondering if it will start leaking, so far so good, but metal don't like to mate with metal really well if you know what I mean?

No gaskets or teflon tape on mine and no leaks yet. The carb install instructions (yes, I actually read them) specifically state not to use sealant tape. The flare is supposed to do all of the sealing.
