Default 88 Ram flooding

I just bought an 88 D150. It has a 318 with a Holley throttle body. It starts ok when its cold, but floods when you try to start it after it warms up. There are two vacuum contolled parts on the driver's side of the engine on the intake manifold. These appear to be disconnected for some reason.
First, are these the high temp switch and high temp diaphram that I saw on the vacuum schematics under the hood?
Next, are these the cause of the flooding? I think it is, but I'd like confirmation.
And then, since the under-the-hood schematics don't really show very well the way the lines run, where can I find out how to run them?
Any help would be appreciated.

sorry i dont know much about the holley style, it may be best to call holley tech line,

me, i went with a 750 edelbrock on my 440 with mechanical secondaries and electric choke, now im not trying to sell you anything but am just letting you know mine has been very reliable and there really isn't much that can go wrong with it, for a 318 i would get a 650 edelbrock,machanical secondaries and elec. choke........just my 2 cents

oh and mayby even a matching intake manifold
