wow.... seems to me like you didnt mark anything before you took it apart.

rookie mistake. vac lines are vac lines.... there is no "need: to connect them in the exact same place.... just make sure they are all connected.

When i put my KB on i pretty much just put it all together my own way. As long as they got vacuum and everything is hooked up that was on the old one it doesnt matter much.

how can they not fit? there should be a hole on the back/underneath of the upper manifold. the tee goes there.

im talking about a plastic tee not the metal tee in the stock manifold, they sent a elbow that screwed into the hole on the very edge which im assuming that goes to the pcv

take a picture.
there should be 1 hole in the back of the lower manifold. about an inch in diameter. thats for the pcv.
vacuum tree should come from the upper manifold.
