vacuum line 1985 500 SEL

trying to get everything back together after top-end rebuild, chain and rails, etc.

although I took many pictures during disassembly I just cannot figure out the vacuum line [marked A]... it comes off the intake manifold - then tees - then the straight goes to the warm-up regulator [I believe that is correct name]... but I have nothing to indicate where the other T goes and all others are accounted for. And scary thing nothing is left over. The line marked B in the pic is an insulated electrical line going from front to back. The manuals I have are just not specific enough.

I took probably 75 pictures and I sure wish I would have taken at least one more.

Picture is from the passenger side of the fuel distributor.

Thanks in advance.

To the advance?

I would take a picture of mine and send it but it's in the body shop after an idiot in a Suburban backed into me, at a red light. I'm not bitter...

This is from memory, but the main vacuum line from the manifold goes to a split by the idle valve and I thought the other side went to the space-ship looking module at the front of the left cylinder bank. If you don't get it in a week or so, email me and I will have my car to photograph.

1984 not 1985

Don't know why I put 1985 .. but it is an 84.

Thanks Steve.

Back together and driveable just have a an idle and hard starting issue. Wonder if it may be related to that vacuum line. Appreciate it.

Hope you got your ride back and they did a good job.
