Hotlinks to photos stored on your AOL mail don't do us much good. Save the files, and then use the attachment feature to upload them here. Or you could upload them to photobucket and then hotlink to that location.

But in general, you've got the connection to the fuel pressure regulator, and the charcoal canister.

Sure! The FPR can just tap into one of the nipples on the plenum. Just make sure the MAP sensor is the only connection to it's own nipple, and the brakes are on their own, the other connections are fine. The charcoal canister line just routes excess vapors back to the engine to be burned. You can probably just eliminate that line, or route it into the air intake duct. Usually if you look at the throttle body you can see where the port goes.

Re: throttle body question

i made a spot for the map sensor when we coated the intake i should have all the same connections on it as the orginal intake did... and i can just put the fpr on any of the other vacum lines then so long as its not the map?

on the pass side valve cover the line that runs in there off the intake tube, i used the 3.4 valve covers and that tube wont reach the valve cover can i elminate that and just plug the whole on the valve cover or put in something else?

Re: throttle body question

The FPR just needs a vacuum signal. The MAP needs a clean signal, and the brake system should probably have a somewhat dedicated line. The valve cover hose is part of the PCV system, and you'll want to connect it back to the intake at some point.

Re: throttle body question

i should have all the fittings in the intake for that so i think im good... i have a post on here somwhere from forever ago that shows the fittings.

i suppose i could just lengthen the tube somehow so that it reaches, i seem to remember seeing someone just put a little filter on the valve cover instead.

I currently use a rubber vacuum line for mine. May not last, but at least I don't have to fight with that valve cover elbow when I need to remove the bellows for something. It seals pretty well at the elbow, but I put the stock hose clamp back on the bellows just in case.
