WOW! I tried too. I didn't do any better.

Try compnine.com and see if they have what you need.

I'm still not doing any good. Can you attach pics so we can see what you're seeing?

Re: Oh ****!

After re-reading, I think you are over by the EGR valve. That should have a vacuum line. Your MAP sensor should have a vacuum line. The EGR control solenoid will be there as well. Your heater control valve has a vacuum line.

We need the following:
Year of car
Year of engine now
Year of engine in car originally
Size of engine and fuel system (TPI,TBI,carb)

Can you put some space between your thoughts? By the time you have switched gears I am still grinding away and didn't know we were on a new sentence. Sorry - could be my age.

Re: Oh ****!

Lol Stillwell, you're like Dr. jekyl and Mr. Hyde, your posts are extremely illegible and then you make complete sense in the next post and then it's back to, "what did he just write" ?

Glad you figured it out!
