Loose vacuum hose on passenger side

Hello!

I have a 1991 Camaro Z28 5.7 TPI with a loose vacuum hose on the passenger side.
I have been doing some work and change the heads and cam on my car and now when i start to put all the vacuum lines back in place i can not remember where this one goes to. I have found everything else but this one i have not.
So if anyone know i would appreciate the help🙂



I have been looking and searching everywhere and can not find any information where this vacuum hose goes to.

That is hvac vacuum supply past the checkvalve. Another line goes to vacuum ball and cruise control

Re: Loose vacuum hose on passenger side

On my car the plenum has two vacuum ports, one goes to the map sensor and the other one goes to a check valve and has a T connection and vacuum hoses already attached to it. So i dont have any ports there that is not attached to something already in the plenum.
Do you happen to know where the other side on that vacuum line goes to? Is it somewhere on the driver side or passager side?

Re: Loose vacuum hose on passenger side

I must look that up today. When you say that it has a third port it rings a bell somewhere that that is true. Thank you guys for the help! I really appreciate it🙂

Re: Loose vacuum hose on passenger side

I have looked now, one goes to the fuel pressure regulator, one to the map sensor and the last one to the hose with the checkvalve and a T on it. One of those goes inside the car through a hole in the firewall under the steering colum and the second one to the cruise control

The hard vacuum tube run over the coil, goes forward to the top of the heater control valve.
