I was asked my a member helping me with my high idle /vacuum leak problem how I currently have it hooked up .This is the diagram I am using .

And your car should start with the vacuum hose off the mps, it will just be rich, which is what you need. Do what hawk said just to make sure. If it is leaking that means it's rebuild time for that mps (easy) and I am not sure if anyone has the diaphragms.

Your vacuum looks okish so at least that is good news. Until the mps is sorted I wouldn't bother touching anything else.

The hunting is likely a lean mix at idle. Go to 6 o'clock on the ECU. It could also be the leaking mps giving weird signals to the ECU.

I decided I need to get my priorities in order and quit beating my head against the wall .
I jacked my car up on drivers side and put in 5th gear and turned my wheel until the only timing mark I know of showed up on my flywheel .

This the what I see in my fan housing view hole . no mark in the V I remember when I installed this that there was one mark only a red O.

I am going to use this flywheel mark assuming it is TDC and check my valves first .then try my timing by using this mark on the flywheel.
Thoughts?
Not sure why I put that sharpie mark on the fan blade or why the red O does not show up in the V .
