1988 F-250 351 vacuum lines
Having a problem with vacuum line routing. Tried to attach a pic. There are three vacuum connections on the firewall. Left-most under Yellow Arrow reduces to spaghetti hose. The runs to a plastic valve with three connections under Red Arrow. One of those connections run to heater box. The other under the Green Arrow has broken piece of spaghetti hose. I can't see any place this is supposed to connect.
Is the plastic valve supposed to be connected in a certain order or is it merely a connection point?
Where would the broken spaghetti hose likely connect?
Can I replace all this with 1/4" hose that isn't as likely to break?

Good info. So the red arrow valve isn't just a three-way connector? As a check valve, I assume it's directional so how can I tell if it's connected properly? And that elusive green arrow connect - how is that routed to inside the cab? Being so tiny, it's tough to see any opening. Don't I have a vacuum leak without that connected?
Sounds like I need to stick with spaghetti hose, regardless?
