Dave,
    If you have the original cylinder head installed there is an outlet on
the back near the heater box that connects via a rubber hose to the upper
pipe on the choke assy. This may be blanked off currently or coupled to the
water pump(lower rediator hose "T". The lower connection on the choke
connects to a "T" on the pipe that in turn, connects the heater (upper
connection) to the water pump hose "T" at the front (actually just below the
choke). That is assuming you have all the original hardware installed along
with the non-standard carb. 
If you need more specifics get in touch directly. Good luck John.
