1991 5.7L TPI - Vacuum lines by distributor
Can someone please tell me what the vacuums line by the distributor in a 1991 5.7 (350) go to? There are several....some are a somewhat narrow type made of plastic that connect to rubber hoses and 90 transitions. When I was tightening my distributor clamp, I noticed them because they were in the way. There also seems to be some sort of mount for two of the lines to the right (passenger side) of the distributor. I couldn't figure out how to disengage the mount.

Great....thanks!! Does anyone know how to release the mount holding the 2 lines by the distributor? I thought it would simply slide off, but it seems locked in somehow. I'd post a picture, but I don't have access to the car at the moment.

Check that......I just found a picture online of the same vacuum connector I'm talking about, but minus the attachment feature that is securing it down by the distributor.
