I would definately agree that it sounds like a vacuum leak. Instead of your father spending so much time on it, take it to a mechanic and have a vacuum leakdown test performed. His time must be worth the money.
If he still wants to work on it some more. Start with the larger hoses and work his way down. Check all fittings. Replace anything that is even slightly questionable. Hoses are cheap and while he is there you might just want to replace them anyway. A common leak is the pcv valve in the top of the manifold. I see them all the time with Silicone on them and quite commonly see them strapped down to the manifold with wire, tape, rubber straps, etc. All the fittings in the manifold should be very tight.
Good Luck
