Default Vacuum problem

Hi, Yes, I have a vacuum problem. I have all the vacuum hoses for the vette but have not replaced them as of yet as when we bought the car, it had this problem and the vacuum lines came with it but haven't the slightest clue on where to start so i can fix it. We have already replaced the starter, alt., given it a tune-up, not to mention cleaning the top inside parts of the distributor as it would not stay alive on its own becuse it was so rusted out. It had been sitting for quite some time before we got it. I need some help on fixing the lights. Where to start is my first problem. Do I start by pulling out all the vacuum lines or what? All info is apreciated.

If the hoses are in good shape [no ozone rot] the seal on the big vacuum dashpot might be the culprit. That's the big round actuator right behind the headlamp. You can buy seals pretty reasonably from the catalogs. Be sure and get you an assembly manual while you are at it. And welcome to the forum
