Your manifold is should have its ports under and towards the rear.

My manifold is similar to this one, except that the ports on the bottom of this one, mine are in the back, and only have 3.My brake booster is connected to one, the catch can "out" line is connected to another, my can "in" line is connected to the front of the valley tray nipple, and the 3rd is plugged off as it was not used. My MAP sensor is mounted up under the snout of the manifold just behind the throttle body. I can't really tell which valley tray you have, but for the LS engines there are 2 different ones you can get, one has the vacuum port on the front, and the other doesn't have anything on it.

Here is what the rear of my manifold looks like. Second pic is of the bottom of the snout with the MAP sensor attached. Hope some of this helps you with your tubing routing.

Thanks Bud
That's just it yeah they are in the back, and since I wasn't there when it was installed I don't know where they coming from

and when I looked under it, I could see that some of em are a bit kinked under there.

Follow where they go and see from there, if needed you can tee into one of those lines if you have too.

Yes, this works too. Several setups I have seen did this.

SlowLS1 · 12-08-2023, 09:19 AM

Trace your lines and draw a picture, we can help you from that.

I would expect large one to brake booster and a small one to valve cover ( one side or the other). Looks like you have PCV in the valley cover ( hard to tell ), be sure to include that on the drawing also.

Drivers side front probably going to Intake pipe.

Yeah I got different sizes barbed T's in brass at work I could use.

Will do Brother !

Here is a quick update on this...I really don't want to pop up the Manifold to find out where to install the Can, here is a pic of the bottom and the front of the Manifold, 3 of the hoses run towards the front into some kind of small filter or solenoid switch.

Infidel67 · 12-13-2023, 10:12 AM

Ooops forgot, some more pics.

That is your vapor canister purge solenoid, I wouldn't tee off that one. Like stated before one of them must go to your brake booster, so where does the other one go? You said you had three lines correct?

I don't know yet, it's hard to see under there, but at least I got 1 taken care of since you ruled out one. I check again in the morning, Thanks Bud.

Infidel67 · 12-16-2023, 03:23 PM

Ok, more digging around on where everything is going, one of the smaller hoses going to the vapor canister purge solenoid, another going to the MAP and the other is just looping around?
On the driver side something is capped off on top of the Heads or so?
