Thank you dude! I just looked at my carburetor thinking, there's no way I made this mistake however, I might as well go take a look and sure enough! I made the same mistake!
Also, if you still have a fast idle after this fix. Have someone (or yourself) open up and check the float system. Floats seem to be a rising cause of carburetor failure.
How do know where the vacuum hoses supposed go. I have a 1984 delta 88 Oldsmobile. 307. It starts right up no problem. But when I drive it - it stalls and shuts off. Can someone help me out?
Ok the constant vaccume goes to the heater and air conditioning line the allowed the vents to open for heat and a/c and the windshield defrost . The port on the carburetor that only has partial vaccume goes to the distributor advance and if they get turned around so the carburetor has constant vaccume it will cause the engine to run rough at idle speed and basically run like crap because the engine is getting more spark advance much to soon because the advance pot pulls the distributor plate to advance the ignition & it's stuck full advance and when the engine RPMs come up then the advance weights with the springs on them kicks in so the engine is at full advance all the time which isn't good & can cause a rough idle a hot running engine and even detonation that can melt spark plugs and burn holes in the tops of the pistons especially if you use the low grade unleaded 88 octane so you have to make sure that the partial vaccume goes to the distributor only . Now on full race engines that have the ignition fully locked to full advance usually those engines run high octane race fuel plus most guys run the MSD ignition that either retards the ignition on start up or turns the ignition off for a few seconds with no spark to let the engine crank over then it lights off the ignition so the engine starts easily because of the high compression that the starter has to overcome on these full race engines .
@@peteloomis8456 thanks for the reply. I have since this question have removed the engine and transmission and in the process of having a LS3 5.3 engine and transmission installed.
I just want to say thank you for making this video. Now I will fix my mistake. I did the same thing.
Thanks for this video. Saved me hours of looking for problem. Love you tube help!!😊👍

I'm glad not to see trolls in the comments. Great info.
Yep. Fixed my issue. Thanks!
That's why I take pictures! especially rear drum brakes. 😂😂

The linage on the driver side confused me. The two pieces that attach with the Allen head bolt got me stumped
Ya choke linkage go fkn figure
