Was swapping vac lines for new. Maybe 30% done.

Suddenly she stumbles taking off in first, when she didn't before. Vac Leak seems most likely. I was banging around alot of those old hoses. Runs okay once there is, a bit of inertia.

Any obvious parts of an 82 system I should check for leaks?

Was mostly working driver side from over by HACV. Broke a tip off it, glued it back together with spray lube straw.

Thanks.
 
My first bet is either your repair is leaking, another fitting got bumped and cracked, or a vacuum line was accidentally disconnected. If it's idling rough you can get a can of starter fluid and with the engine running spray a bit at each connection where you replaced a line, giving it a few seconds to see what happens. If the engine surges, you found your leak.
