Do a search for CAD. That's what engages your front axle into 4 wheel drive. There are electrical and vacuum lines that control it.

the whole thing is the cad.
the electrical connector on the left is the 4wd indicator light on the dash.
the vac lines on the right control its operation to couple/uncouple the axle halves.
