I should go directly to manifold vacuum somewhere below the throttle plates.Hope this helps.

R/S (passenger side) rear of the intake has a vacuum tree on it for your various vacuum accessories. If you lack this then pull the plug and add one.

The brake booster needs its own seperate vac source. It will sometimes act up if shared. Location should be on one of the intake runners.

I've got a vacuum TREE on mine. It has 5 ports of various sizes, one of which fits the booster line. It's threaded into the rear runners.

Think I'll paint it green so it looks like a saquaro!

Where can you purchase a vacuum tree from? I just realized I've got this vacuum hole wide open on my intake. Thanks

any parts store should have one i would think.

I got mine from a salvage yard. They didn't even charge me for it.

Okay, what should I call this part when I ask for it from a parts store? I told them what I was looking for and they had no idea what I was talking about. The lady looked at me like her confused face was supposed to be cute. The only thing I thought was she have a job behind the counter of Walmart not Autozone. There's millions of jobs for people who don't specialize in anything. McDonalds, Burger King, hey even with the devil himself at Walmart. These people should be taking the pay of people who are worthy. Sorry for the rant, just annoyed.

Just call it a vacuum tee....that's what it is. Here are a few pics for the visual:

Update: I found one at a salvage yard. Guy told me just to take it. Go figure. It came off a late 80 5.0L Fit great and looks great. Should have gone to the salvage yard first.

Thanks for all the help guys.
