Default Vacuum line

Does anyone know how the vacuum line runs off the intake manifold of a 68, L36 with air conditioning and what parts are needed? I think it’s not the same as other Qjets. If you can see the C60 section of AIM, view B, of C60, C8. There is a cap on the front of the carb and a “Y” fitting on manifold. Boy a picture of the thing would help.

Hi Dale,
Are you asking about the vacuum supply line for the wiper and headlight doors or for advance?
Regards,
Alan

Default Vacum advance line

Alan
Its the advance line off the rear of the intake that has a "Y" fitting. Where the lines run from there is what I would like to know. The book says one is a vacum hose the other a prod spark hose. Then it shows a cap over the front of the carb where the non A/C cars.
Thanks for you help
Dale

I agree with Alan; I think its the supply for wiper and headlight vacuum. I also agree the AIM page is not as clear as it could be, but it worked for assembly line folks.
