Default 85 oweners help with vacuum routes

I changed the injectors and while taking off the plenum several of the vacuum lines underneath broke causing me to lose track I see the schematic but I do better with pictures does anyone or can anyone send me pictures of under the plenum where all the vacuum lines go to the EGR in the back the front please I do need some help or I'm going to have to take my chances which I'd really rather not see the pictures are what I'm talking about

The real WOW is why you disassembled the car without thinking the project through and in advance taking some pics.

In the pic my egr solenoid lines are backwards. On the solenoid in your pic, the little stub that is HIGHER up goes to the egr valve, in my drawing I have it backwards could not erase for some resason.
Good luck and since you are subbing rubber I suggest a tight fit and mabey some rtv on the plastic and a tie wrap on the ends.

5/16th rubber vac line with a bit of contact cement works well as a splicer.

If you still need to see some pics, I've got a stock '85 I could take some this evening.I think the diagram above probably covers you though.

I'll probably be out there tomorrow night working on it (still working on the damned u joints-they're not hard but time consuming). I'll try to remember to take some pics.

If you can take a pic at a time I am sure it can be figured out. Don't take the pic to close and use windows draw to make an arrow.

or one pic close in and a second pic further out from farther out while pointing.

anybody know if the 85 has the vac line going into the can inside the big wiring loom behind the dizzy?i think 85 was only manual hvac so it maybe didnt use that vac line.

if thats the case, you dont have the vac line going into the cab and it shoots over to the cruise control in front of the dizzy.

There is a line coming out of the bundle behind the dizzy for heater controls(vents). It goes to one of the 2 ports on the valve.
The other port goes to cruise and the valve goes to the plenum.

That line runs in front of the distributor over towards the cruise control?

Is there a three-way rubber connecter on that line? If so, I believe that is supposed to be positioned on the driver side of the distributor, at the base, on top of the intake manifold.

The vacuum source line comes in from the passenger side of the Plenum, and splits at that three-way, sending vacuum into the cab through the wire loom that run behind the distributor and go through the firewall by the heater box. The other split goes to the vacuum source for the cruise control

You should be able to see all of this on the diagrams provided above

If you can take the pic further away we can blow it up still, anyway that is incorrect. That vacume should have a small
check valve connected, then the heater controls which come out from behind the dizzy and a seperate line should go over to a tee for cruise and the ball. As in the pic I posted earlier. I dont think a hard line went to the cruise side, only the heater controls came from the abiss.
Right now you will be stuck on defrost I believe. You will need the 5 dollar check valve to split the heater and cruise lines.
