That is the main problem...there are zero vacuum lines hooked up...thus I need a diagram, so I can get everything hooked up properly.

At the very least you have the vacuum modulator, power brake booster and vacuum advance hooked up right?
At least they are blocked off? If no, you have a terrible vacuum leak at the vacuum tree or at the base of the carb.

The truck does not have the power brake booster...the van did however. So that tube will have to be plugged...as far as the Modulator, and advance hooked up...

For now, just make sure that you have all of the ports on the intake and carb plugged so you can tune the thing. A vacuum leak will be a tuning problem.

I went online and found me a Chilton Manual for the van model, it is supposed to be here Saturday...so I am busy tomorrow, going to get headers for it...Hedman Shorts...so I wont be able to fiddle with it much until Saturday anyway...but I do have it all covered, since I still have the hood off and all...but I started another thread asking about the transmission..."Neutral Safety Switch"...any advise on that issue?
