So, the vacuum line that I have has been superceded by a new one that is nothing like what the old one is....

Here is what I have...note the connections for three vacuum lines in this general vicinity....One on the top of the white part (with a U shaped connector feeding the internals) then a 1 to 2 line connector on the back of the white check valve which is feeding the red with green stripe line and the brown line.....finally, a single line that feeds into the engine compartment seen right in the center of the picture.....

Then note the rest of the line here, with no vacuum connections anywhere:

And now, here is the new line that looks completely different from what I am using today:

I also had to order a new connector which is a three way connector.....and a vacuum line (which was not currently available, so I was going to fake it.....using some stock I have on hand), but there's nothing that tells me how to connect...

So.....

My question to the experts on the Shop is...has anyone done this swap and can you tell me what I need to do???

Thanks in advance!!!
