I'm going to post a picture of how my vacuum lines are run...tell me if it is correct...

That MAY be the problem but if according to you guys it's right then i need to find the source of the high idle...

Also i found one vacuum leak on a solenoid i wil take a picture of it and i need to know where i'm running that vacuum too..

Be right back..

The only way someone is going to be able t tell if something is out of place is by looking at the factory service manual. That is why we provided the link for you. :-)

hahaha words of encouragement doc!!!

Well what about that little lever type thing that is in one of my pictures...it's not hooked to anything...it's on the throttle linkage part...Right below the sub return spring in the first picture. What is that? Where does it hook up to?

You don't need any of that garbage, unless you have to pass emissions testing.

The only vacuum lines you need are one to the distributor to run the vacuum spark advance and one to a PCV valve to ensure that there is proper engine ventillation. The rest can be torn out and plugged at the carb base. There are approximately elventy-brazillian threads on this topic, so you should be covered.
