Default Re: 59 AB engine rebuild

While installing the heads I started thinking about the distributor and the vacuum line. As I don't remember seeing one when I started working on the engine. I checked my pictures and there is no vacuum line. The timing cover has the hole for it but I don't see any where on the intake manifold for a vacuum line. The only vacuum line on the intake manifold is for the windshield wiper. Just under the carb.

I am using a 1945 to 48 distributor. I see there is a vac. Line part number 21A-12226 that is for engines 42-48. But not sure how I would hook it up. Does any one have any pictures of the vacuum lines on a 59ab engine or other advice.
With out the vacuum line how would the engine run at higher speeds ?
