    Okay my 200 is acting up. Rebuily carb, head. New filters and gas. The car runs great out of gear like in park or nuetral but other wise I have to give it some gas to move before it stalls out. Even when I hit the brakes. I think my problem lies in my vaccum lines anybody have a diagram or can tell me where all the vaccum lines come and go? Thanks!

    It don't get more simpler than the diagrams. Only two to choose from, it's either one or the other for a '70 200. If you have a ported vacuum switch then there's only one choice

    Trash everything but advance line from front of dist to carb... If it still runs poorly you have other problems...

    Plug any vacuum port not used...

    If carb is in good operating condition, a choke isn't really necessary in summer(yeah it'll be a bit balky for a couple minutes but that should clear up quickly)... There are notches on the choke housings, but in warm weather you can adj it till plate is about 2/3 closed at 70*...
