Default vacuum line

There is a vacuum line on my 04 that runs from the MAP sensor on the back of the intake manifold and passes by the brake resorvior and then to the front of the engine. I used a block in the line that has several threaded openings in it. You can't reach around to the MAP sensor so if you have more than one line, you may have to cut it and see if theres vacuum when engine is running. Its also a good source for a vacuum/boost gause hookup.

If you have a Maggie, there's a port available on the left (driver's side) of the blower. In the picture below, you can see the BAP pressure switch in the upper left of the picture.
