help me in corvallis

Hey I got my fc in a friends shop and I was looking for a vacuum leak and ended up taking the intake manifolds off. I got everything back together but not it won't even run. It starts up, idles poorly, and then dies. Anyone rotary gurus locally that can give me a hand?

Need to get this thing up and running stat.

Vac line not in place would cause that on a MAF base car.

I can't get it running long enough to spray for leaks. I'll probably just take it apart again to see if i missed anything, but as far as i know it's all there.

Well I barely got it running enough to spray for leaks, and found one under the intake manifold. Guess it all has to come off again.

Hey does anyone know where to find metric vacuum hose in the corvallis area? So far I've only found 3.5mm, but can't find 6mm. I've checked with napa, autozone, carquest, and even a couple dealers.
