Default heater controls vacuum source

The vacuum source to my heater controls in the engine compartment is loose and not connected on my 69. The factory manual shows it connects to one of the wiper vacuum hoses. Does anybody know specifically which line it connects to?
Thanks

Hi Tim,
On my 71 the heater control vacuum line 'Ts' into the large yellow striped vacuum hose that is the supply for the wiper door actuator.
I post a couple of pictures that may help you with your 69.
Regards,
Alan

The last picture shows the small supply line going through the firewall just to the right of the wiper motor.
