    Default Vacuum hose diagram for 5 litre

    Does anyone have a diagram that shows how all of the vacuum lines connect up under the engine bay of a 5 litre ? I have one small hose unconnected that runs of a tee piece between the inlet manifold and fire wall. It follows the firewall and heads back up along the passenger front guard to the vacuum bottle (I think ?).

    Is it that off white plastic round 4 to 5 mill female fitting that is close to the edge of the manifold on a 45 deg angle facing upwards and just needs to be pushed in ?

    Done dusted and working! Thanks for the pics etc. It just required extra straining of the neck and a torch and I found the outlet tucked beneath the fuel hose. Took a bit of effort to push on but still wierd why it even came off in the first place after all of these years. Thanks for all the help !

    i got no pics but, its on the base of the inlet manifold, at the rear, on the passenger side of it. There is another bigger vacume hose just below/above(cant remember) where your little vacume hose will connect onto. Now that bigger hose im sure is the one going to the brake booster, so follow it to the back of the manifold and it will be there about 10mm above/below it.
