the fuel line will be closer to the front of the petcock, or the thing you turn to engage different fuel options. And the vaccum line is behind it, youll have to lift up the gas tank to see it, because its at the very back of the petcock. Also poor idle could mean clogged idle jets, I just put new ones in mine, which you might want to consider, they are like 4$.

OHHHH it hooks up to the top of one of the intake manifolds, there should be a brass fitting for a tube like on the back of the petcock sticking stright up on top of one of them, in fact both of my mainfolds have one, we just sealed one so you might have to take the rubber piece off if they are sealed.
