probably your dial heater control on your console that actuates your ducts
or automatic transmission?

I thought vacuum went thru firewall and split for heater, headlights and wiper door instead of multi hoses thru firewall.

The 3 port intake manifold vacuum fitting is correct for a 69 427 390hp with power brakes and AC. So the open port should be connected with the AC vacuum system (if you have an AC).

But the fitting on your pic looks a bit odd, I am not aware of a fitting with a threaded port for the 69 427. So the fitting might not be the right / original one ...
