New intake on but few questions?....
Hey guys, been awhile since I have posted but finally digging back into my 83 Z28 and have a few questions. I have a 83 Z28 with a swapped in 350 and th350 from the original 5.0 crossfire. Nothing is computer controlled anymore I believe and no emissions. I just installed a new 2101 edelbrock intake manifold. So my questions are this:
1. My water neck has 2 fittings on it 1 for a bigger wire connector and the other for a vacuum line. First what are these for and do I need them hooked up anymore cause I might get a new water neck.
2. The fitting in the back of my old manifold for vacuum 1 of the hose fittings broke off so it can't be reused. The 2 lines I had going to this were 1 from the black cylinder on the firewall on drivers side and the other from the evap canister I believe. Again do I need these hooked up anymore or can I plug the new manifold.
3. There was a really thin vacuum line coming from passenger side that hooked to a t for vacuum from carb that got unhooked. It almost looks like a wire and I'm not sure where it went.
Any help appreciated I can get pics of things if needed thanks...

Re: New intake on but few questions?....
you should have a vac line to the tranny modulator, the small black line goes to your heater/ac doors, hook that to full maniflod vacuum also. some of your other hoses may have went to your cruise control.
