Joe:
No, that is not to be used to connect the vacuum advance line from the
distributor. Although I am unclear on its function, I can tell you where it
connects. There is a small metal tube that inserts into a hole in the
passenger-side exhaust manifold on the forward-facing side of the #4 exhaust
runner. It runs up the side of the engine and over the top of the
passenger-side valve cover, terminating just short of the hose fitting that you
are referring to on the air cleaner base. A short piece of rubber hose is then
used to connect the tube to the a/c fitting. My guess is that it is used to
direct some warm air into the induction system for assistance in quicker
morning warm-ups after the initial start, but there are those on the list who
are more learned than I on things like this who I'm sure will chime in with its
real function.
I'm assuming that your car is missing this tube, as was mine before I restored
the engine compartment. I was able to get one from one of the classic
Mustang/Ford parts suppliers, and then simply bent it to fit by using pics of
the cars "back in the day" as a guide. Let me know if you want a pic and I can
get one to you.
Thanks,
