The hose should be a vacuum line, without it the tranny will not shift correctly.

I've got a 4 speed so I can't check for you. If I recall correctly, it just had to be manifold vacuum. I don't remember it being ported but, I could be wrong.

My 78 comes off the vacuum tree coming out of the manifold behind the carb in front of the distro.
