I have rebuit my 88 stock 1.3 engine-finally-still runs like crap-missing/backfiring/wont run right when timing is set properly (10 degrees).  It runs as well as possible with the timing set as far forward as possible. 

I have gathered from reading forum posts that replacing the stock carb with a weber allows one to get rid of some of the vacuum lines.  My question is how many remain?  I have no idea if all the vacuum components work so I would like to replace carb and remove as many of the vacuum system components as possible.

I appreciate the help, I would not have made it this far without the help from folks on this board.

If you put on the weber you pretty much remove all of them.  At least the ones for running the carb, you still might have one for the vacumn advance on the distributor.  But you won't need them for running the carb itself.

The only vacuum line left is the distributor advance, all the others are capped off.
