Slant 6- Idle and Running

Well the plot thickens...

Two photos attached (One is the thing I bypassed, one is the awful intake manifold connection)

I disconnected this (sits on top of the valve cover, it is OSIC? My slant is a 72 so I'm not sure what it is), but it had a hose disconnected anyway (the one pointing forward). It used a T and connected to the carbon canister, the distributor vacuum advance, and the carb. I bypassed it and connected the vacuum advance line directly to the distributor.

The car ran better. It would now run even with the choke fully disengaged*. The car now runs when warm with even partial throttle, but STILL wants to stall without any throttle. I can also still manually choke the engine and keep it running.

I'm showing a photo of what it looks like at my intake manifold. I am sure that could be leading to a vacuum leak (as well as a fuel leak!). This could be causing my problems also. New gaskets are coming. Lots to do.
