Default Engine Problems.....

Ok well, ive been letting my car run alot latly, i have noticed my car shakes alot from around2k-3k rpm.... once i hit over 3k rpm it will calm down and rev normally, but from that span of rpms the whole car shakes bad..

That and i have a vaccum leak i think. I am trying to let all my gas empty out, so i can change my fuel filter and make sure all the gas is new and clean, So i have about no gas in it right now, its running on bassicly nothing it did shut off arready because of it. Well Theres a hissing noice coming from around the carburator. When i put my hand over the smaller two butterflys on my qjet it muffles it. But i can not figure out where and what it is. My tach is off in its rpms too about 500 rpm. Im figuering i maybe broke a hose or mixed two hoses upw hen i changed my valve cover gastkets. I did just clean my carb with carb cleaner.

IF anyone can help with these id apriciate it.
