Vacuum Reservoir Connections 1988 Ford F150 5.0 L Vin "N"

[Lariat150]

I have installed installed the factory plastic vacuum harness on my engine.

If I read the situation correctly, the molded rubber fitting at the vacuum reservoir (Tomato) can only be installed only one way, due to the configuration of the rubber fitting and the nipples on the reservoir.

The vacuum from the intake manifold tree goes to the ..."amp" port on the vacuum reservoir, and the ..."man" port on the reservoir connects to the lower vacuum ports of the "EGR,TAB, and TAD" solenoids.

Put the vacuum harness on to get rid off, a "rubber vacuum octopus" that had been installed by the previous owner(s).

Am I correct in my read of the situation?

Thanks

Sorry it took so long to get an answer, I was looking for info on the vac hoses but being an 88 it's hard to come by. what you have done sounds correct, I think the lines can only go on one way as you stated.

Checked vacuum installations at the local PickNPull, vacuum plug at reservoir was the same..........fool proofing..........for fools like me
