Upper/Lower intake manifold gasket replacement
Picking up from ECM Inspection thread:
The upper's off, gasket looks good - I don't see a hose that's supposed to plug into the 1/2" (ish...) male vacuum fitting facing the rear of the car.
What goes there, a hose or a plug?

It looks like all of my connections are on the opposite side from yours, mine has the tube to the charcoal canister heading out towards the front of the car.
Either way, the outlet next to the MAP sensor/vacuum tree/FPR is capped? If so then I seem to have just lost that cap.

Yeah, and it's nowhere to be found, musta just disintegrated away...
Ready to put it all back together, thanks for all the help guys, I'll (hopefully...) post how well it's running in a couple hours.

You don't need any thread loc on them , just bolt it on. I never paid any attention to the torque of the upper intake bolts, I generally just snug em down, but if you want to be sure then I believe the torque is 12-18 ft.lbs and no particular pattern to it.
