Default Vacuum Line Problems/ What is this ****

I have found some vacuum leaks on my 951. These two lines Y off, but there is no line from it. It is broken off. Plus I snapped one of them when changing the spark plugs yesterday. I bought the lindsey racing blue vacuum line kit and the venturi delete so I will hopefully not have any leaks. My question is where are these two connectors supposed to go. thanks

Edited to remove unnecessary references.

Here are the three connections:
1) Up to the "MAIN" 3-way connector (the other two lines on that "MAIN" connector go into the intake manifold and over to the fuel damper - which also splits and goes over to the BOV).
2) To the Fuel Pressure Regulator
3) To the driver's side (didn't replace this line yet so I'm not sure what it goes to)

If I'm seeing this correctly, I think you're simply missing a connection between the two 3-way connectors.

If you're still stumped, send me a PM and I'll send you my phone number and we'll talk while both looking under the hoods.

1) Up to the "MAIN" 3-way connector (the other two lines on that "MAIN" connector go into the intake manifold and over to the fuel damper - which also splits and goes over to the BOV).

that's funny. Pretty much what I said when i first removed the intake manifold. They're almost all gone now.

There is a vac/fuel line diagram on the pass fender to help you route the lines correctly FYI

As a "while you are in there", you might want to consider removing the cycling valve and putting in a manual boost controller.

As for routing, Lindsey Racing has some good diagrams here. http://www.lindseyracing.com/mm5/mer...ry_Code=VACDIA
