Need some help with non CC Quadrajet

I put the new motor in my firebird and replaced the computer controlled Q-jet with a non-computer controlled Q-jet. I have some of the vacume lines hooked up, and some that aren't. The ones that I didnt know where they went, I plugged. The motor wont run right and I'm wondering if because I may have plugged some of the wrong lines is the cause. Are there any diagrams or pictures that could show me where these lines go? I've searched and found that there are diagrams on the hood and fan shroud. I dont have those though. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

There really isn't that much to do. You need the large one in the front center to go to the PCV valve. The large one in back goes to the power brake booster. Then, the smaller one on the driver's side front corner to the vacuum advance (you do have a mechanical/vacuum advance distributor, right?).

Assuming you don't have a snorkel-type air cleaner and aren't worrying about the charcoal canister.

I have all the necessary ones, that you talked about hooked up. Something is still not right though. I dont know if its the carburetor or not. (It keeps flooding and now wont even fire. ). I'll have to go through and check it out I guess.
