92 V6 Vacuum ball question/Info request/Pic request

All I have is a larger diameter vacuum line hanging where the vacuum ball is supposed to be on my 92 V6. The line comes from the charcoal canister.

I have a vacuum ball (looks exactly like the one on my 86 LG4 setup) but it has a port for a small diameter vacuum line. I dont know if its the one that is used on a 92 V6, plus I can't figure out how to mount it. I'm wondering if something else has to be hooked up before it goes to the vac ball or if I need a different vac ball...

Anyone have a pic of the area where the vac ball would be? Or anyone know whats supposed to go there. Anyone have a pic of the emissions sticker?

90-91 info might be the same????

Your car works without the mysterious orb of power?

All the vac-ball does is act as a resevoir. It could go ANYWHERE in your vacuum system and still work just fine.

Yeah, everything works, heater controls and a/c. My gas mileage can't be that good though, I burn more gas with my V6 just driving around town than I do when I raise hell with my LT1 V8. So, I'm guessing its not making EGR or emissions work correctly or its causing a vacuum leak.

I think I have my problem figured out, just have to hook up the vacuum tank to the hose that is just hanging there and thats it. I hope anyway.

I still want a pic of the emissions sticker that is on the inside of the hood... if someone could please take a pic of that. A 90-92 firebird 3.1 V6 should work.
