I am going nuts thinking over this. Can somebody please clarify the orientation for the check valve on the vacuum line?

Thanks.

Most check valves have a dark-colored half, a cone-shaped end or both. That's the side you want facing the engine vacuum supply.

Silly I know, but the simple check is to suck on each end of the valve. The end that you can suck air through is the one to plug into the engine vacuum source. You want the engine to suck the air out of the CC reservoir.

Thank you. Couldn't get any simpler than that.
