Missing vacuum lines


On top of my 302 intake there is the port for vacuum lines and mine seems to have the regular 3 red ones and the one for the brake energizer and an extra port on top that is larger than the small ones and smaller than the brake energizer

There is also these two holes in the firewall and I think these might have something to do with it

(in between brake energizer and driver side valve covers)

That rubber plug doesn't look like anything has been in it for a while. Have any codes?

Vinny, so that line looks like his goes to the cruise, unless he doesn't have cruise. If not should it be plugged like the picture.? I assume the auto t line with a/c would be also be plugged if you had a manual with no a/c?

Yes on all counts...

I'm not familiar with 1995 options....

A 1995 does not have a vacuum controlled Speed Control.

Plug the top port.

Sweet info guys.
Hey Vinney, where can I get a similar diagram for my 1988 F-150 I-6 automatic, which is now a 4 speed?

This came out of one of my EVTM's, it is a fairly generic page, and should apply to your 1988.
This is an example; you can find them for under $20 if you are patient...

So I guess I should just plug it cause I just bought it and it came like that and so far that's what I've done and it's been working fine. Thanks for the diagrams and the pictures cause there wasn't much info online.

about the holes in the firewall do those just go to some after market setup

Yeah, plug it for now, because it is a vacuum leak.

Well, if you have vacuum controlled Heat/Air C, those holes could be related. Maybe someone with an 1995 can shed some light on that...

yeah I've got a 96 and there weren't any holes in that one eithor but there is a trailer brake that didn't have any wires to it so that might be what they go to and I think he used to have a tach in there too.
