Vacuum system question

[Yoder, Doug]

Well, the reason I asked is 'cause the 4-way pipe in my wagon is just a
pipe now, no valves of any sort...  I mentioned before that when the car
died, it backfired twice - my fiancee thought that it sounded like
something breaking, not a backfire.

So a new question would be: if a little rubber flap came flying off the
inside of the vacuum system, where would it end up? In the camshaft case?

Thanks,
-Doug
