OK, I dug through the archive.

My car has cruise and it feeds into the "T" from the headlight switch vacuum line coming through the firewall and the vacuum to the cruise control transducer.

Follow the red trace





Let me know of you need the full res pics and I'll send them to your e-mail.

I think Wilcox called it: it is identical to my 81, the solid black vacuum line goes to the water valve. Mine was cut and I had to splice it with a small section of rubber hose.
