Car shuts off now, so the main issue is manageable for the moment. I will be ordering a new main vac line and then put stuff back like it was once I replace that.

I have a question regarding the fuel shut off valve however. There are three vac connections going into the switch. A brown line that goes to ign, a vac line that goes in the top, and then there is another short, 90-degree hose comin out of the side. This was not connected to anything (in my case) and I did not see any vacant lines that may have come disconnected from this. Is this some sort of breather line or something? or should it be connecting someplace?

Thanks!
In the pic below is the Vacuum Shutoff Valve that is on the Steering Colum Lock.
I do not know which line goes to which nipple but there is only 2 lines that connect to it.
Both are Brown with the exception that one of the lines has is Brown with a stripe.
If the Line positions are not proper the Valve will not function like it is supposed to.

There is a Black Tube not connected to the shutoff that goes through the fire wall that connects to nothing and is a vent tube.
