Default 1970 Vacuum System Question

I am still in the process of rewiring and running new vacuum lines in my 1970 350. The car has A/C and according to the diagram: http://iotech.no/corvette/technical/..._heater_ac.gif there are 3 vacuum lines coming through the firewall. The small green goes to the Harness assembly, the small white line to the heater shut off valve, and the small black line to “source”. My question is, what source do I connect it to? This is the only line that I have yet to figure out. Please help!

:rolleyes:

That looks like a closed system other than the end of that black line so I would assume that has to hook to the 'T' check valve that comes off the intake. Not real familiar with your set up since you have a wipe door plus I do not have a/c.

On a '70 there should be 4 vac lines.One is for vac. to the blend doors. One goes to the wiper door control valve. One goes to the control valve for the head lamp doors. And one is vac. off the intake for the headlight & wiper switches.
