If you don't have vacumn there with the motor running the car will idle slow (real slow when cold) and stumble and run bad until you really get the rpm's upunder acceleration, plugs black and overrich conditin. The vacumn lines should run to a tee and go somewhere behind the trottle plate for constant vacumn. I had that problem same as you and that was it, no vacumn to the regulaters. I have told several members about it and a couple times that was their problem. I doesn't cost anything to check, with the motor running pull one of the vacumn lines off one of the regulators and touch the tip of the line with your finger to see if it has vacumn, it will be only slight cause its a tiny line.
