Looks to me like it's a PCV hose going to a PCV valve in the valley cover,behind the thermostat housing.

Looks like a random wire just resting against the rear bowl,not bolted to it.


As for the throttle cable deal,I always strive to keep the cables parallel to each other & equidistant from the center pivot point.

Sometimes that means modifying the bracket,sometimes you have to juggle the arm/ball location for the cable on the carb,or at times both.

And the return spring(s) should also be fairly close to parallel w/the cables as well.

Having any of that @ wierd angles just puts undue stress on the throttle shaft/bushings and can lead to various problems (binding/wear/etc.).

FWIW
