TBI Vacuum Hoses

[foamypirate]

Hey guys,
I'm hooking up my vacuum lines on my TBI swap, and had a few questions. Figured since a few of you are TBI, you could probably help out.

The first question I have is on the back of the intake manifold. There is a small silver Hex screwed into the manifold with a vacuum port and hose attached. What does the other end of that hose attach to?

The other is cruise control related. In the cruise control harness, there is a large vacuum hose. Where does that attach to on the engine side? The interior side connects to the brake switch. I thought it connected to the cruise control servo, but it seems too large in diameter.

The next one is on the MAP sensor. I have a vacuum line from the TB to the map sensor, but on the MAP sensor, there is port, but nothing hooked up to it. Should there be something hooked up there or is it open?

The vacuum ball...where does its vacuum line attach?

Last, but not least, the climate control harness coming out by the heater box has a vacuum hose, where does it attach to?

I really wish I had taken more pictures when I tore down my 87, dangit! I looked through my factory manual, but couldn't find anything really.

Thanks!

There's two ports on the cruise servo, the larger one is for the large line and the smaller one is of course for the smaller hose getting engine vacuum.

Cool, thanks! It just seemed loose on there, so I wasn't sure.

I think the vacuum ball is T'ed in with the cruise control servo....or is it the HVAC? Lemme look.

The HVAC hose goes to manifold vacuum, I T it in on my brake booster line.
The MAP line comes from the back of the TB, the egr lin is from the passenger side port on the TB, PCV is the large port in the middle,EVAP is the medium port below the EGR.
There should only be one vac port on your MAP.

Yup, its teed into the climate control line.

My manifold rear fitting has a hose coming out, then a check valve, then a T splitting off to the ac/heater and CC/vacuum ball.

MAP sensor should have one line. Are you sure you are not referring to the EGR control valve? That has a vent port and 2 vacuum lines.

And my brake vacuum line feeds off the front/right of the throttle body.

Thanks guys! That's exactly what I needed.

89S, you are right, it was the EGR control valve. I was working from memory, and for some reason thought it was MAP.

That would be funny as ****....hook up the map sensor wrong, start it, and he comes back posting that his 84 is rolling coal.
