Thanks all who responded to my query about the mysterious shut-down on my
project car.  turns out I stupidly left off the main air hose from the
sensor box to the throttle body.  I assume the thing sensed no air being
pulled thru, and concluded that no fuel was needed, either.

As to the vacuum hoses, the '84 does not appear to have three on the
firewall side, only two.  BUT there are four on the front side, and the
Haynes manual is no help on where to send one of them.  Two go down to
pipes below the throttle body, and one splits into four and goes to the oil
injector nozzles.  The last one, I have no clue.  I don't see any open vac
pipes, and the Haynes says [in the supplement to the '79-85 model book,
which is where the 13B gets covered] that it should go to the "air bleed
socket".

Ok, I give up, what the heck is an air bleed socket, and where is it.

Currently, the engine will start right up, go to about 4500-5000rpm, then
finally come down.  It will hunt between 1200 - 2000 at approx one second
intervals.  This may be due to the lack of a vacuum delay valve on the
throttle body [I just discovered that bit of damage].  Anyway, two questions:

[1] what is that air bleed socket?
[2]  Is the idle hunting caused by the lack of delay valve on the throttle
body, or something else??
