Where does the vacuum line from the upper intake on the front go to?? the one on the right in this pic. I know the left off the TB goes to the oil fill for a vent..

It looks like it goes to the lower intake but there is nothing to connect it to there. The coolant line on the stock intake is not used on the cobra.

It goes straight to the vapor canister down on the passengers side.

Its a black boxy thang.

Charcoal canister plumbing - one 3/8" tube from the bottom of the upper manifold to the rubber hose. Rubber hose connects to one side of the canister solenoid valve. Other side of the solenoid valve connects to one side of the canister. The other side of the canister connects to a rubber hose that connects to a line that goes all the way back to the gas tank. There is an electrical connector coming from the passenger side injector harness near #1 injector that plugs into the canister solenoid valve. It's purpose is to vent the gas tank. The solenoid valve opens at cruse to provide some extra fuel.

It does not weigh but a pound or so and helps richen up the cruse mixture. It draws no HP & keeps the car from smelling like gasoline in a closed garage. So with all these good things and no bad ones, why not hook it up & use it?
