Yeah I remember when I first did this. Trust what you know then ask for help on what you dont. The main vacum line, the one that comes out of the tree that's on the firewall. It's the big one. It goes to the back of the manifold. It can also go to the back of the carb, for starters it dosent really matter. But, you have to plug up the one that's not used. Pretty much anything that come off the stock setup that will bolt up to the new manifold should be done. It might look like a mess, dont get overwhelmed. This is where I usually end up with alot of spare parts! lol More important than the vacume lines (you can always sort that out later) is making sure you use the intake manifold galley pan, and seal it up correctly. You should have an accurate torque wrtench, and follow the right sequence when tightening the bolts down. DONT FORGET TO MARK THE POSITION OF THE ROTOR AND THE DISTRIBUTOR!!! Double check your work and you should be fine. Oh and RTFB Read The ****in Book good luck
