340 not running anymore...Help Please?

Well, I pulled the vacuum secondary off and there is a small tear in the diaphragm. So I got to the store Friday night after school and tried to order a rebuild kit and a diaphragm, but they are back-ordered from the factory. While at the store, I picked up a timing light, inline spark tester, and the Holley book you guys recommended. I had a wedding Saturday, so I planned on getting into the car on Sunday. With a wonderful offer of help from replicaracer43, who happens to live in my area, I just knew that I would have some success in getting this sorted out. What I wasn't planning on was my boyfriend... He is a wonderful boyfriend, and had planned a wonderful day to celebrate my birthday. So, I wound up at the drag strip in Mooresville for my school's annual drag races. So much for accomplishing anything on a weekend..... I got my fingers crossed that this week goes smoothly and I'll be posting some results on here soon :)
