After you are sure that it is not one of the many vacuum leaks that you could possibly have, ie dipstick, oil cap, charcoal canister, INTAKE BOOT, big hoses that go to additional airslide and valve cover, you may want to take the intake boot off and do the check as described in the haynes manual on the fuel distributor flapper(whatever that thing is called) to make sure that it is acting properly and aligned correctly. My 79 was a bear to get right but now that I have no vacuum hoses it is right and runs great. No emissions where I am!

: As I drove home in my 79 today, I noticed some surging. uh oh, vaccuum leak, I thought, I'll have to look at that when I get home. Then the car stopped revving at 3 grand, and no matter how hard I pushed down on the pedal, nothing would happen, or it would lurch and stop. When I got home, I proceeded to check all vaccuum lines. Everything seemed ok, so I went to start the car again, and it wouldn't start. I decided that now would be a good time to get the Haynes manual and hook up all the hoses the right way. They weren't. After doing this, the car will kick off, but will die within seconds. It's frustrating, to say the least. My question is, with all the vaccuum lines correctly in place, and this symptomology, where do I go from here? I'm truly lost. Any advicce/suggestions would be GREATLY apprectiated. TIA everyone
