new to fte n already askn for help - TX

Sup everybody. new to fte. i wil gladly appreciate anyones help while working on my 1974 ford f100. this truck has been in the family since it was born. my dad bought it in '74 and we've had it ever since. can you believe it one owner. this baby has never had its engine opened up, but i think it might be time for some engine work. Problem i'm having with it is it doesn't stay on after initial warmup. I've been told that it has a vacuum leak, that it needs a new carburetor. if anybody can send me a diagram of the vacuum hoses where they all go that might help. it has 302 v8 in it with a 2 barrel. everything is original on it. any help or advice would help.
