The metal line needs to go to a x-mas tree off your manifold, it is for you shift solenoid on the trans, but if you got none free either disconnect a emmision line or use a port on the carb which gets vac the same time the manifold gets it...
as for flooding, you'll see black smoke from your exhaust, if you got a manifold leak, it'll be too lean which can cause it to stall when slowing down or at idle like you mentioned...

Yeah looks like i need it to shift, i tok her for a drive up the road and she only went to 1500rpm and the belt started to squeak like shiat! so i just parked her...

Any ideas on an area i can connect the line to on the carb? i guess a t pipe piece is in the right direction?

Looks like it wasnt flooding just timing out, but i fixed that. Just need to shift and shes fine :)

[Edut] just did some research and i now see why, thanks atari :)
Just need a hose now :D
