nova gte problems

[martint2k4]

got a few small probs with a nova gte engine, i get smoke that comes off the exhaust manifold, not from the gasket but the manifold itsself, also, its really lumpy and hesitant, anyone got any ideas on how to tweak it so it runs, when i rev it, the engine hesitates really bad

sounds like a air leak somewhere and smoke off the manifold will just be oil, it'll soon burn off

well theres a few vacuum hoses that i havnt connected as im not sure where they go, is there any chance anyone can take a pic of their engines and show me which vacuum hoses go where please?

[burgo]

it would be easier if you took a pic of the vacumes youve got left as i can post a pic of my engine but you'll be lucky if you can see where they go.
