Congrats on getting it running. THose O rings can be a pain.
THe brass fitting is for the vacuum advance (or is it retard?) on the
dizzy. The stock install uses 2 rubber L boots, one at each end, and a
hard plastic line from the carb/manifold to the dizzy advance unit.
Usually routed along the front of the engine along the top of the
thermostat housing. There should be a clamp like doohickey on one of the
theremostat housing bolts that holds it in place.
