Cool Hi everyone, I need help!

I found a missing vaccuum hose from the advance on my distributor, just hoping someone can tell me where it needs to hook up to i'm thinking on the intake somewhere. and also i want to know if that would cause sluggish acceleration on takeoff! thanks in advance for your help!

Under the intake manifold is a "vacuum distributor"....about the size of a small, round aspirin bottle. It has three vacuum nipples. One of them goes to the distributor vacuum advance. Take a peek and see if one of the nipples is vacant. if so....there ya go !

Yes, this could cause low power.

Cheers
