Question Lightning Boost

Can anyone help me with the boost/vacuum line routing. I have no boost on my factory or aftermarket gauges and think that the line has come off of the manifold. I need to know where to look for these lines. I have found the line from the firewall, but is this the only one? Any pictures and diagram would be great. Thank

there is a T under the dash between steering colum & ashtray, also if boost bypass was done it also bypasses the gauges.
I know we've had some good pics in the past , but can't remember how long ago.Try some searchs , if nobody chimes in.

I am pretty sure there was a boost bypas. I am certian the lines were improperly reconnected when it was removed, unless it wasn't totally removed.--Ian

I bypassed th eboost solenoid on my truck, and still have a boost reading on my factory gauge. It goes past ten, and the needle hits an internal stop.

I checked for the tee and found it with one side plugged. I can see where the vacuum comes through the fire wall just above the brake peddle, but can not find anyother line (boost?) near it. Where does the boost come through the fire wall, if it does. Does anyone know where on the manifold it originates? Thanks
