FPR gets a full vacum from intake. (fuel pressure regulator) Picture of the four will help.

The 3 of the 4 vacuum lines from the rubber distribution block (plastic plug) are emission related. They go to EGR Valve, Air Diverter Valve, and the Air Bypass valve. The 4 line comes from the backside of the upper intake and plugs into the rubber distribution block.

would this be the correct part to connect to the lines/connector? also i am running a explorer intake, does that have an effect on the connection to the intake? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-1993-MU...sories&vxp=mtr thanks for the help mike

The eBay link you posted shows the vacuum lines for our A/C, Heater, Defroster, etc in the interior and has nothing to do with any vacuum line in the engine bay that would hook up to your intake.

If this is what you have been talking about it will look like with both ends together?
