#1. The bottom unit screws into the threaded hole in the bowl cover. The top one is incorrect.
#2. If I'm seeing it right, the top piece is useless. Please show me your Metering Rod Tension Spring. It has a square bend.
#3. The brass tube is the main nozzle for a post-war carb. Most kits contain both it and war-time piece.
#4. The aluminum washer is placed over the hole that the Metering Rod passes through on the bowl cover. The rod passes through it as well.
#5. The hooked spring is the Choke Return Spring.
#6. If you are referring to the open threaded port in the throttle body you have two choices. If you have a Vacuum Advance Distributor, that's where the vacuum line hooks up. If not, plug it with a 1/8" NPT fine pipe plug.
#7. Your choice. Either will work fine. The one with the ball arm is for a motor with a belt drive governor.

Some light inspirational reading. Has pictures. http://oldjeepcarbs.com/thread/106/

Setting the choke cable: With the choke cable handle all the way into the dash, set the cable as shown. Holding the choke plate fully vertical with the spring pin touching the inside wall, snug the lock screw on the cable itself. Then tighten sheath clamp.
Setting the throttle cable: With the throttle cable handle all the way into the dash, set the cable as shown. Thread the cable through the block. Install the cable lock on the cable leaving about a 1/4" gap between it and the lever.

Do you have a vacuum gauge and a dwell/tach?

Help yourself.
