I have this Micro test Im studying for right now. I hope to dig into the dash before I go or tommorow. I went out lastt night and saw where to look. Once Itake the cover off, how do I get inside to see the vacuum lines, or are they visible allready?

Im having a hard time finding where the vacuum line goes into the engine..Or the source. I think it was said it was near the Master cylinder. That is the big round thing where you put the break fluid in right?

My service manual was unclear as to the exact location of the source but it did have one line labeled "To Accessory". This line connects to the intake manifold right next to where the large vacuum hose for the brake booster connects. The brake booster hose is about 7/8" in diameter, black and goes from the booster on the firewall to the intake manifold. Your description of "That is the big round thing where you put the break fluid in" is nearly correct. brake fluid is inserted in the master cylinder which is bolted to the booster. You have the right idea though.
