1972 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 72 VW bug and am not shure where the vacuum lines go. The distributor is advanced and retarted by vacuum. Do you have a diagram?

Hi there,

thank you for the donation,

This vacuum line is a ported line, that is it is not full manifold vacuum, there will be a vacuum outlet at the bottom of the carby, if it has not been hooked up, the port may have a rubber plug on it, check this out.
