    Hey guys. I have read a fair amount of threads regarding the vacuum canisters but can't seem to find info on the hose destination on the engine bay side. I have one nipple closest to the fender with no hose attached and the engine side nipple as a hose that isn't attached to anything. Any help much appreciated as always.

    Looks like the vacuum line from inside the car is not plugged into the canister.

    The hose you looking for goes through the firewall in a large rubber plug along with the wire that goes to the compressor.

    So I have one tube missing and one loose. The
    Ok. Found the one from the plug that is alongside the wire. It is loose and looks to be the one not connected. To the front of the can. The line closest to the engine is the one that is loose now. Where does that go?

    Pic of the line not attached now. This would be what create the vacuum in the can to assist the heater vent controls etc. Must go to somewhere on the manifold or carby but who knows where???

    Can that line reach the carb from the canister?

    I'm thinking the line plugs into one of the carb ports. If you can't notice a unconnected port I'd recommend you remove the air cleaner and check for a port near the top of the carb right beneath where the air cleaner would sit.
