Good luck finding a vacuum schematic for your truck! The hose routing depends on the model year, engine, transmission, truck GVW, whether it was built to be sold in CA, 49 states or Canada, and sometimes even in what month in the model year it was built. So unless you have the OEM sticker for your particular vehicle you’re pretty much outta luck on that. Note also that even when new and properly plumbed and adjusted,engines of this era didn’t run very well. (I know – I working at the Rochester Carburetor plant at the time…)

FWIW we ran into the same flooding problem with my wife’s dad’s ’75 GMC ¾ ton (350 Q’Jet). After much screwing around I finally stripped off and plugged EVERYTHING except distributor advance which I plugged into the intake manifold, then put a manual choke on it. The truck now starts and runs pretty good. (Fortunately it is too old to be subject to emissions testing here in the people’s republic of NY…)
