same thing I have. Are you a 93-94, or are you a 95-97? The reason I ask is to see whether or not you are already vented.

If you are a 93-94 you are not vented stock. The MSD cap/rotor kit will make you vented in a way so you need to make sure you have 2 hoses about 2 feet long...one to go to the intake manifold, and one to go to your intake elbow. You may or may not need to modify the elbow...

If you are a 95-97 you are already vented and can use the stock hoses...make sure they are connected right though.

If you do not use the hoses, and run through a puddle wrong....water will get in and destroy your cap/rotor/ or even distributor....bad juju

The MSD cap and rotor come with the hose to do this. But if he is a 93-94 he will only need one hose. This hose will run to a vacuum line on the intake manifold that the ERG runs off of. The other line actually come off the MSD distributor or the OEM 95+ distributor. this allows the line coming off the cap to pull vacuum through the whole system an pull in fresh air through the distibutor.
