Trying to make connections

What good are disconnected wires?  Do they really need to be hooked up?  I have to say yes.  I was not sure what all the unconnected, mis-connected wires and hoses go to, but I think they are all in the right place now.  

The Landshark still is not starting, but I am closer to a solution.  Right now I think the main problem is that I connected the sparkplug wires for a european version of my car rather than the North American model I own.  The foolish Germans made subtle differences in the models for each contintent, no doubt to strike back at us for our silly emissions laws.   In Europe the distributor turns clockwise, in America, counter-clockwise.  At least on the '83 model.  Time to go rearrange the wires! Again!
