Posi-lock Need someone to check this pic
I am installing a posi-lock 4X4 engagement and the first thing I have to do is cap the vacuum line. I think for my model it is on the intake manifold and I took a pic. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF I CAPPED IT RIGHT?

Check out the pic at http://sci.tamucc.edu/~dcooper/jeep/DSC02426.JPG

follow that line back and see if it goes to the t-case. if not you've got the wrong line. easy way to tell is to pull the 4 line plug off the t-case switch and see if you still have vac there with the engine on.

Wrong Line. Installed this a few months ago. The line you need to cap is on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

I don't think that is the right vac line either. I'll set up links ASAP to pics of what is the right one according to my '95YJ setup when I installed a posilok on my rig.
I think you inplugged the vac line for the EDIT: EVAP gas canister for your fuel system

That vac line is unplugged from the back of my intake manifold vacuum source in my pic and goes to that check valve by my battery which supplies vacuum to the whole shift fork system. EDIT the other vac line is for the climate control and if you have another vac line there it is for the cruise control
