found the problem, line had come off the vac transducer / amplifier. Simple enough problem, hard enough to locate.

There is a 90° rubber connector on the side of the modulator that is cracked, line goes to the trans. It appears to be non replaceable. Is this right or can it be replaced? I made a temp fix with some shrink tube but want it replaced.
