For 1968 #2 should be correct and for Concours purposes should be marked "Autolite". #3 sounds like a 69' and up and for concours purposes, it would be marked "Motorcraft".  The cap should be painted black.  The passenger side grommit is for the PCV valve, which would hook to the back of the carb spacer.  Check the photo Jeff posted in your other thread and you will see what is correct for this application.
