Long story short I had to replace the engine in my otherwise reliable old truck at 298000. That part with the exception of busted knuckles and not having done it before, went off mostly okay though I’m still not completely finished, due to the challenges described below. While wrestling the new engine into place at the bell housing and torque converter I inadvertently squashed a white vacuum line. I managed to get it removed from between the two sections. Now when trying to trace it back I find there is a second (unsquished) white line. What are these and where are they supposed to be terminated? Also, when the exhaust came out I now have a black rubber hose with a small metal curved pipe and bracket. (See pic). Where did THIS one appear from? Any and all assistance is appreciated and I thank you in advance. Please don’t cut my throat, I’ve never tackled anything like this before.

Hi, very specific vacuum pump question, have not been able to find the answer here or any other site / google. I've read a lot about failing vacuum pumps and re-sealing them, but what I need to know is this.. I do not have the vacuum brake booster, only thing my system feeds is cruise and hvac. After my supply line fell off the pump the other day (rotted hose) I hooked it back up. I decided to replace some of the hoses and noticed there's a check valve right before the input to the hard line on the firewall... was not working as expected so replaced. I also grabbed a vacuum gauge and tested. Several sources say the system should hold a vacuum well after the engine is shut down, mine drops fast. My question is this: Where should the system hold the vacuum? after this check valve? Or should it also hold a vacuum if i were to hook the gauge straight to the pump? If after the check valve, I'm good, if the pump itself should also hold a vacuum... well then time to move on to those re-seal topics. Thanks in advance!

Seeing as how the entire internet can't figure out how to use paintbrush, I took up the challenge and finally made everyone a vacuum diagram. Let me know what you think. http://www.mopar1973man.com//isx97/Charts/Vacuum%20Lines.jpg
