Usual two places for vacuum leaks on the 90 are the hose that leads from the
crankcase up to the valve cover area (since upgraded by a combo of large
metal hose and two small rubber hoses), and the two hoses that lead to the
ISV (one short one, and one long one that is actually two hoses with a
plastic elbow that can also crack and cause leaks).

Also, does your rear diff lock?  If not, chances are it is a vacuum problem
and it may be leaking vacuum in that system.
