Weber 32/36 won't idle to tune

I have a used weber 32/36 that was on my old 79' 4x4. When I retired the truck a few years ago I pulled the weber and put it in my garage. I bought a 85 2wd truck last year and bought a rebuild kit for the carb. I rebuilt the carb and put it on the truck along with an lce spiral 2 pc adapter and I can't get it to stay running long enough to tune it. I set it at the base settings and it starts but won't idle at all.

I live in Ca so there was a lot of smog stuff I pulled off. What should I have plugged/blocked off and what should I have kept?

I tried all the tuning and troubleshooting tips and still nothing. What vacuum lines should I have plugged?

The weber only has one vacuum line from the passenger side of the carb to the distributor

Then you should keep the vacuum line from the intake manifold to the brake booster.

All other vacuum lines are not needed you can cap them off or remove them.

It does sound like you Could have a vacuum leak

I found the problem. It was right in front of my face. I missed a port on the intake that needed to be plugged. After that it runs fine.
