Intake help
66 was referred to as a ported vacuum switch. Available aftermarket but originals are hard to come by. 63 and 65 look like oil pressure and coolant temperature sending units.
The ported vacuum switch was installed in the intake manifold in the front right corner (at least on 69's) and plumbed with vacuum lines to multiple locations. Should have at least 3 'positions' or line locations on the body. The oil pressure unit should be in the bulkhead just behind the water pump. Coolant temp sensor should also be located in the intake near the thermostat housing. Both 63 and 65 would be electrical connections to the engine harness. A different oil pressure sending unit was used for the Rallye Pak option but that's not what's shown in your diagram.

Mike,
I am pretty sure 1980 would have had an electronic Quadrajet on it. I can tell from your picture which carb you have ? Is it from the original 350 or the 1980. I also cant tell if you have a vacuum advance distributor or the electronic one from 1980. All of that is going to matter. If you have all of the 1980 parts on it you should be able to use the 1980 vacuum diagram.

I’m just trying to get it running, and truly to figure out what goes where because the guy that was working on it told me i needed 3000$ in parts just to get it to fire up.
You don't need any of that stuff just to get it running. The emissions equipment won't be connected, but the engine will run. The fact that the clown working on the car can't even figure out how the heater hoses should be connected suggests that you should take that car and run, don't walk, away. Sorry, but that is completely f'd up.
Thanks. I wasnt sure so I went into one of my parts stores online catalog and looked at a 1980 Cutlass and they actually showed a Throttle Position Sensor so I assumed
