Default check the spider hose...

it's hard plastic that doesn't flex, and is easily broken. mine was "fixed" by the prev owner w/ electricians tape!

Check the TBB for sure. Replace DVs w/ 710N's.

6 speed? Check the F-hose.

Plugs? Air filter?

look around for oil seepage from the valve cover area (cam plugs & seals, cam adjuster seals)

Don't forget new intake mani gaskets.
