    the van runs swell, a few minor carb adjustments as far as air/idle and throttle position quiet the old 6 right down. but since i've owned the '67 its made a hissing noise! well i found where the hissing noise came from in my conquests this morning. what i can't find, is where this vacuum line is supposed to go. what does it do and does it serve a purpose? when i put my finger over the end of the rubber hose, the idle seems to even out? have a look and leave me feedback/answers? i outlined the outlet and hose with a thin yellow line

    Not for sure, but Dist and PCV should be only connections...

    If it has vacuum all the time,,,,,it is for the modulator on an auto trans,,,,,,the PCV should go right into the intake manifold,,,,,,,the distributor needs a ported vacuum signal that only comes on when you step on the gas pedal,,,,,,lots of vans have any old carbs on them now,,,,,,
