88 GTA help

I need help. Pictures please if someone here has an 88 GTA I just put this motor back together and broke part of the vacumn lines.
It is the last one off the back of the pleinum and it went into the cannister in the second pic. I now have two tees in place but it is not right. I think that cannister is some sort of check valve. If someone can show me a pic of there car it would help me beyond belief.

Do you still have your vacuum routing label on the underside of the hood? (Looks like this):

No I bought the car from a friend for $125 it had a blow head gasket and the hood was messed up so I pitched it without thinking about it.

Good deal... even if it doens't run, you could fix it up for less than if you bought a running one. How much does a head gasket job cost where you're at? (unless you do it yourself?)

I did all the work myself and if I hadn't broke that vacumn thing it would be running great. I had some head work done while they were off. I can't wait to see it run smooth.
