Oh I cleaned them up. That was before I took them apart for reference
While I'm waiting for the parking brake lever strut to show up (next week) Trying to figure out what fuel lines I need. Counting outlets on the tank I know at least 4. I'm now getting into very unfamiliar territory. I'm also trying to find the exhaust system I need going to need from the header back. Can't seem to locate one, anyone have a good source.

The stock CJ sending unit should only have two outlets (unless your going EFI). One feed and one vent / emissions return. If your including any outlets built into the tank they are for emissions and if your not using all the emissions connections you can cap them.
As for an off the shelf exhaust for your installation, they don't exist because your system is not stock. Your going to have to make your own using a universal kit or take it to a shop.

Sending unit only has 2 outlets on it. In Pennsylvania if your vehicle is over 25 years old it is smog exempt. But I plan on moving to South Carolina in a few years, don't know the regulations there.

There are no emissions requirements in SC. God bless SC and my state FL and others!
South Carolina does not require emissions testing or annual vehicle inspections for passenger vehicles, regardless of age. There is no minimum age requirement, as the state stopped mandatory inspections, including emissions, in 1995.

In a Previous post. You purchased a new fuel tank.
Did you determine if the pump that came with it was "High" or "Low" pressure?
One line is supply,
One will be a Return Line,
One will be a Tank Vent which would go to a Charcoal Canister,
and the fourth, could be for a drain back/vent from the filler neck.
See if there's any instructions in the box the pump came in.

I couldn’t find what the pressure was that the pump was. I found something vague that said it was I think 4.
There was no paperwork in the box with the sending unit
Don’t have a charcoal canister

4 PSI is a carbureted pump for a non EFI engine.
Ok my parts have arrived. does anyone have a picture of how the break lines run from the rear axle to the brake proportioner. Also on how the parking brake cables run. Thanks in advance.
Checked the sending unit it does not have a fuel pump on it. I guess they just packed it in the wrong box.
And I’m guessing my gasket intake and exhaust is not supposed to look like that
Does that 84 stamped on the blocking on on the intake mean this is a 1984 engine

I think those are Assembly Tabs on your Intake Gasket. It helps "Hang It" while you can get All the Bolts Started. It is not bad pictures, but I can't see if it might have a 2 piece intake/exhaust gasket.
BEST NOT to "Disturb It" and wait until you Start it and run it.
No leaks, Leave It ALONE.
It is a can of worms to work on a Matched set intake/exhaust manifold.
Look at my post on Jeep Soup's

Yeah leave it alone. Unless it’s leaking. Had to change out both last year because I removed the head. Probably would have been easier to unbolt the exhaust, but got it done. 2 gaskets together interconnected.

I would be shocked if it's not leaking. That soot right where the gasket is sticking out is a dead giveaway. Now, I'm not casting stones, nor am I one to talk based on the state of the header/manifold bolts on my '78, CJ7 , but at least the gasket isn't sticking out.
Ditch all that rusty, OEM garbage, and get some replacements that will have longevity.

The stock setup does need some scavenging, and if it's escaping at the block it's not going to flow right at all, and it will rob you of torque.
The Carb is already off. Unless you've got a stuck bolt and need to extract the hard work is done IMO. I would pull them, clean up the intake, polish the flat surfaces of both, apply a new gasket, and new header/intake bolts. Not only will it run way better, but your engine compartment will look way better. Who doesn't want that?
Those header bolts are expensive, but they are way better than the OEM bolts, with the round washers, in every way.
