I found that there is a bar missing. It goes from like a 5 inch diaphram by the distributor to the carb. Does anyone know what that link is called? im thinking this is another reason why when i punch it, it hesitates.

That's part of your cruise control. Having it disconnected from the carb will have no effect on what you're experiencing. There are some vacuum lines that are connected as part of your cruise control operation though, so you might want to inspect for any open or cracked hoses. Also check under the dash on the brake pedal assembly for a vacuum "release" switch which is part of the cruise. Stepping on the brake pedal "breaks" the vacuum connection and disables cruise control.....real hi-tech stuff!!! The vacuum hoses to it, or the switch itself could be leaking. From the looks of your engine, it appears like it's never been touched, or very little. That can be good for one reason and bad for another! While you're at it, check All your vacuum hoses for breaks, cuts, or loose fits. Having a lot of vacuum hoses that are loose at the fittings can add up to one big leak.
