FPR more accurate from what ive read, which is why i changed mine to there.

T off the pipe that goes into it.. Be careful, might already be brittle / need replacing.

Grommet to get vac line inside is back right hand side of engine bay about 10 inches down.

You dont have to take glovebox out if you push a coathanger through with vac line taped on..
