I have recently installed a 408 into my 68', and its backed up by a performance automatic c4. my problem is that the instructions call for a vacuum line to go from the tranny to somewhere. where does this line hookup to. also are there any other vacuum lines i should know about. thank you all for your help

what exactly is manifold vac. and where is it located and what does it look like

Intake manifold vacuum. It is picked up at various places, some big blocks have a hollow carb stud, and lots of stuff has a nipple in the back of the manifold.
Holley carbs usually have a tap in the base plate as well.

For instance in this photo the nipples pointed to on c8oz-9a474-b and on c7az-9a474-a are intake manifold vacuum.

For more specific help we will have to wait for the small block guys to come along.
