Default '87 fpr vacuum connection

did the AIR delete during a header install (love the extra room) where do you connect the vac line that comes from the fpr and manifold (2 to 1 vac line) fsm showed it connected to AIR relay.. currently have it plugged but also have random chugging at 9 to 1,3k rpm.

the FPR should connect on the right side of the manifold, with the climate control vent vacuum line... there should be a choke on it.

There are two vacuum ports on the rear of the plenum on the passenger side.

The front port goes to the A.I.R. solenoids and the fuel pressure regulator.

The rear port goes to the vacuum check valve and then to the cruise control and the HVAC programmer.

Cut the old Y vacuum tubing and reuse the rubber connectors, to make a single line from FPR to intake port.

concur two vacuum ports passenger side,rear to check & hvac (no cruise control) front joins fpr and fwd to AIR (removed) relay. can cut and fit using current fittings from fpr to front port. (hope it helps w/ low rpm miss, already did plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor)

Thanks for all replies appreciate your input and time taken !!!!!!

YEAAAA!!!! only slight miss or hesitation is noticed now,,, much better guess fpr was losing some vacuum. checking fuel pressure next ...........
