'77 450 SEL Euro; 4.5; Vacuum line problem!!!!

This is the engine without emissions controls; and with the hot cam and 225 HP.

Stupid me.

Awhile back, I somehow dislodged the SHORT Red line from the vacuum advance on the distributor. Now I can't find where it goes inside or on the engine.

This is the red line about 6-7 inches long. Don't know if it's the advance line, or the retard line. Meanwhile, car runs relatively well with timing retarded a bit. But noticeably worse without the advance connected. It's about time I did this.

If you ACTUALLY KNOW where this line disappears to, and any tricks on getting it in without removing the plumbing, etc., I'd be most gratefyul.

Please. Don't want to spend labor dollars at my indy shop for soemthing so simple.

Thanks!!!!!!
