You don't need a vacuum diagram, you need a new hose. What's happened here
is that the rubber has gotten old and soft, and probably has a hole in it
too. I know, because the same thing happened to that hose on my parents '85
Quantum 5 cylinder a couple of years back. Put on a new hose, and all will
be well.

BTW, there's a vacuum diagram on the sticker inside the hood.
