I'm rebuilding a not-so-stock engine back to together.

There's a vacuum line which comes off the Charcoal cansiter and it leads to a purge valve, and then the purge valve has a vacuum line which goes to the engine.

Can someone please tell me where this vacuum line hooks up to ???

I found a document which says it connects to "Manifold vacuum at the Throttle body". I don't see any place for a connection at the throttle body. Although there is an opening at the EGR plate which could be used.

If you peak under your hood and look at your stock configuration, you should be able to help answer this question.

Thanks in advance.

A manifold vacuum source is a manifold vacuum source. If you have an available port, that's where it goes.

Anyone of the vacuum ports on the bottom side of the upper plenum should work.

Mine goes under the front of the plenum, almost directly in the center.


The line rots out in that location because of the heat.
