So if there's a DIY someplace with a bunch of pictures I could sure use the help.
there are a couple of vacuum lines that run either over or under the oil refill tube that connect on the bottom of the rubber connector (which get brittle with old age) of the front intake manifold. Sound like you might be tugging on that tube and that would certainly make the engine run rough. Look for it it's a small tube
