Do you hear any air/vacuum noises when you move your HVAC selector around? Like A/C to Norm to Heater to Def? If you don't hear any air type sounds then you need to get your vacuum lines fixed. This will also move your blending door once fixed. Probably need to fix both the vacuum lines and also the blending door tab.

Ok well I remember when I first dropped the motor in and broke it in, a hose hanging from the firewall with a clear looking plug, was touchin the headers and melted. So now I know it's a vacuum source for the system. Didn't know that at all. Now my question is where can I run that vacuum source? All my ports on the carb are used up. And I have a simple fitting on the back of the intake and that's where my brake booster ties into.
That softball canister you were mentioning is on the passenger side on my 86. And vacuum is connected there. Since I don't have a radio I am able to look up into the climate control and see hoses running to a sort of round dial selector for all the vent and def options.
