Hey guys I've just finished installing a '73 sbo 350 into my '87 Cutlass or as I like to call it ...., my '87 Cutthroat.....i've pretty much did all the basics as far as installing.....I called myself wiring it up to give it a go, and it just chugs, as if it wants to, but nothing....so I decide to unhook all electrical wiring and , vacuum lines, and start from scratch with the help of you guys

Before installing the 350: the guy I purchased it from reinstalled a 307 in it, most of the wires was hanging, done were hooked up, the same with the vacuum lines.....


After installing the 350: like I said I've did the basics, now i'm at a halt with wiring and vacuum lines..., I need help with wiring my alternator, starter, what vacuum lines go where, and actually getting tgis thing to run..... If photos are needed I can get them for you guys, any help towards getting my baby on the rode would be greatly appreciated.....thank in advance

You dont necessarily have to us every vacuume port on the carb. THe one in the middle is usually used for the PCV running to the valve cover but if you arent running one just make sure it is plugged so you dont have any vacuume leaks.
