Well the stock one off the original intake is slanted on the part you bolt to intake. My new intake is a straight one.

What engine? And, CA or 49 state version? The F100's and F150's should share the vacuum layout up to the heavy duty version of the F150, so that makes it easier to find one. But, they are engine and maybe transmission dependent, and I think the CA ones had different emissions equipment, and therefore vacuum lines, than the 49-state versions.

I have the 49-state diagram for a 351M w/a C6. What's your config?
