Brief history, This is about a 1970 charger I have for 5 1/2 years. It came with factory a/c and has all the pieces. Over the last 1 1/2 years I completely rebuilt the heater/ac box using the great write-up that was available on this site. I have the whole unit installed, however, I don't have the replacement parts yet that go into engine compartment so only the blower and heater are hooked up. My 1st question concerns the vacuum connection to the intake manifold. The vacuum tank came with the car but was not hooked up. One of the 2 vac hoses that comes into the engine compartment thru the rubber grommet went to the intake mani.fitting for the brake booster. The other to the water valve. In looking at the service manual, 1st photo, it shows a "bleed wire" that's tee'd into the hose from the vac.can. Is this a wire or a hose and does it just hang in space? Now the hose that went to the manifold fitting looks like it could be that hose, 2nd photo. All the vac hoses are black so I guess they have been replaced. If it just hangs in space doesn't that diminish the vacuum. I plan on hooking up the vac can again to aid the vacuum. Thanks for your responses.
