Well, I've got another 325 throttle body from eBay - it's a later model one, so it has no bypass screw on the top like my original has, and has the large rubber sleeve over the outlet on the bottom of the body near the TPS.

Here's what's odd - the small metal vacuum hose elbows on the right hand side - it only has one. There's a hole for and a second, but it's more of a socket then a duct, as it doesn't go all the way through to the interior bore of the throttle...

Is this like the ones you have? If so, how does the plastic 'air pump' and vacuum check valves get plumbed in?

Mine is an '88 engine and has the two pipes. Both go to a valve and then the brake servo line. One has tee off to the inlet elbow.

I found out (the hard way) that there are inlet elbows without the small pipe connection, which may tie in with your single pipe version?

Maybe studying realoem could help?

P.S. this add for hoses seems to show just one hose...
