vacuum issue

Hi I got a 73 F1oo that i did some to the engine edelbrock intake, carb stuff like that. After i got all that stuff put back on and got rid of some vac lines, the two that come up from the trans are the designed for the both of them to suck? causse it don't seemed to be shifting right! or is the actuator not working properly. I did put in a shift kit in my C6 and that don't seem to make much of a difference either, and reading the hayes manual doesn't tell you a whole lot. Any help would be great

the vacuum modulator? should be hooked up to the nipple on the back of the intake,
your distributor advance should be on ported or constant vacuum, do the research, figure out how your motors runnin, and choose the right one, block off the other, (rhetor i think his name is usually splits my wig when he talks about vacuum, ask him) make sure your kickdown linkage is hooked up too.
