I have a 1987 crown victoria with a black vacuum hose coming through the driver's side firewall by the pedals. Not sure how it was disconnect, probably while working on the car. Does anybody have an idea what it connects to? |

I have a 91 LTC EXEC...basically the same engine-frame...etc...just models and body styles as you probably know...
Vacuum is important for many operations...including the air (AC/Heat) controls, wipers (sometimes)
and possibly the brakes....!!!
Can you hear any audio from the end of the hose or the port where it became dislodged...???
Or try to track the hose back into the engine box for the source end...
If the original hose is brittle...replace it...get plenty of length and just replace
to the dislodged port...
Hope this is helpful.... |

Hey wizzard thanks for the reply. The hose is in good shape and while the car is running I can feel the suction, I just have no clue where it connects inside the cabin. I'm assuming its got to be something important though vacuum hoses usually are lol. |

Possibly for the HVAC unit. If you can get a hold of a vacuum schematic, it should tell you where it connects. Try this link for Chilton manual: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=147239
