Just do it like the factory manual says to do it. Did you use a timing light?

ok one vacuum hose popped off. car idled but if you give it gas and let off it hunts for the idle. i got it to idle perfect at 1500rpm... maybe i'll keep it that way and tell people its got a giant street port so it has to idle high

under 3000 rpm in partial throttle sounds like its running on one rotor. mike and i just swapped in my injectors and rails. now it won't run at all. sounds like its not getting any fuel. you have to floor it then it will run at like 400rpm. i don't have work till tomorrow afternoon so i'm gonna swap them AGAIN. this car really doesn't like me

Check for vacuum leaks. It's possible that the intake manifold has a crack somewhere. Which ones did you use?
