    The hose runs to the carb and operates the distributors vacuum advance. Maybe somebody else can chime in about what the need for a second line would be.

    It is an emissions thing.
    Unless you have smog testing, connect that single vacuum advance nipple to 'ported' vacuum on your carburetor. That would be the nipple just above the butterflys on the side of the carburetor. Never use intake manifold vacuum.
