Vacuum troubles

Someone at one point in time put out a fire on the engine (460) of my 85 F350 but not before it melted all the plastic vacuum lines that run all that crap.

I know the green one feeds the EGR and there are a few red ones, a black one and a yellow one but I have no idea which ones go where and how many I should have. Can anyone tell me? What size are those lines? Also can I buy the little rubber piece that all those lines go into? Some sort of multiple outlet "T" I guess. It goes in the intake to the left of the distributor. My truck is running but barely and I'm sure the massive vacuum leaks have a lot to do with it.

You should have a diagram on the radiator support for the lines.

Hmmm, that must be what that square thing is with the half-readable colored scribble on it. You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that would you?

A Chilton manual has it....or you could pop $50 bucks for a manual from your Ford dealership. It may seem expensive, but it is WELL worth the money.
