Default vacuum hose

I´m doing my engine compartment, but I cant remember what this vacuum hose is doing and where it hooks up. there are a little tee in the end of the hose and it goes through the firewall. its a 1973 convertible, without air-con.

Hi Peter,
On my 71 that hose is the vacuum supply for the heater/defroster controller in the shifter console.
It tees into the wiper door circuit on my car, but on 73 I'm not sure what the tee is hooked to.
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

thanks. as you can see the tee is a lot smaller than the one on your car.I cant imagine pulling it appart so it might have been hanging down between the engine and the firewall the hole time. hope someone else know. peter

Hi Peter,
Yes the T is smaller but look at the nipple and clip on the hose itself... it's the same.
Your T fit's on smaller supply hoses than 71.... I believe.

Alan
