LGB, I saw the line, and now I know what and where.. Looks easy to fix!
I still cannot get my head around the Vac gauge... every day, every stop, and idle condition, its in a different place!
Is there a static vac test that will show me a leak down?
Maybe I am getting fixated now, but I do notice the fuel gauge jumps around a bit too! Its kinda jerks... could it be a bad connection?

It has to be a bad connection or a vacuum loss.
Like I said earlier, mine jumps around. Since my daughter used to drive it all the time I can;t remember if it had always done it or not. All I know is that, like you, I notice it all the time.
The gauge in my 420SEL was smooth and right on. To the left at idle or coasting, to the right when accelerating.
I am glad that you were able to figure where the hose goes...I'm sorry that my pics didn't help
Did you see my third picture? And F300E's response?
check your release throttle switch (and the wiring leading form the switch to the wiring loom).
