You can explain why you bought this car to someone else. You’ll need a service manual to figure this out. Try [http://www.Books4Cars.com](http://www.Books4Cars.com) or your local auto parts store. Good luck. By the way, there are two “u’s”,in vacuum. ---

Look under the hood for the emissions sticker. This should reflect the vacuum hose routing on the engine. Tester ---

This is the same car mechanically as the 4-cyl Mustang of 1986. If you search on-line for some Mustang forums, you may be able to locate a factory service manual on-line that will help. I got lucky with my Supra, a friend’s 1991 Capri (australian built), and a 1996 Mazda MPV mini-van. ---

Autozone has a repair guide for 79-88 Mustang/Capri. Here is a link to page with scanned vacuum diagrams (note, there are 192 of them).
