Yes, it is always good to get some closure and/or solution on threads.

Vent line just doesn't matter, so long as it isn't clogged.... It's the green line, should be able to see it from underneath. (though, given its age, may not be green any more.... )

Supply line will come from the bag o' snakes of vacuum lines on the passenger side of the intake. It will run down behind the engine.

An easy test for vacuum is to simply start the motor, let it idle, pull the vacuum connector off down at the cad on the axle, see if you have vacuum to either port. Keep in mind, the metal lines that run along the frame like to rust, and leak.....

Two lines go from the switch, up to the passenger side rear of the engine, one is a vent line, (I think its green) the other is vacuum source. Goes to the bag o snakes by the intake.
All right I found the green and white wire that's coming off the motor block it was above the transmission I put my hand up there and I found a loose wire now I don't know where I got I got three black lines and I don't know which one they go and somebody help me out with a diagram of where they go remember my wires are all black
