Well, vacuum leaks are the bane of the Turbisti.
With your '86, if they haven't been changed since it was new, it's time to change *all* of the vacuum hoses. 15 years of heat make the hoses amazingly brittle - they can have cracks that you're not even aware of.
You also need to change out the rubber grommets that hold the vacuum nipples to the intake manifold and valve cover. They get oil-soaked and shrink.
Also check for cracked vacuum nipples and connectors.
Change the vacuum hoses to silicone ($1 a foot at places like NOPI - dayglo orange, man :-) About 20 feet of 3.5 mm hose will do it. Get a little extra if you want to be safe.
Also, check that the APC box is plugged in and the knock sensor is plugged in, too. Then post again with your results.
Congrats on your acquisition.
