You're not missing anything except the foam block bleed filter on your EGR solenoid. No vacuum tube goes there & it should not be capped. You might want to see if you can scrounge up a little foam similar to the remnants, cut a block, then place it over the bleed port to prevent more dirt getting sucked into the solenoid channels.


I have never seen that black wire connector hooked to anything on a Federal Emissions spec engine.

I've got the same two things disconnected or missing on my 85 Fleetwood Brougham and that has always had me wondering for years what the hell it is???
