C4 Help Needed

I am having an issue with the truck stalling in first gear. I have located the vacuum lines running from the rear of the manifold to the tranny (AT C4). One of the lines is pulled with a bolt from the PO and I found an open tube on the passenger side. Where does the plugged line go? What should be connected to the tube (above the tranny dipstick)?




Drivers side plugged line by modulator





Passenger side open tube

I have an older Mustang with a C4. The only vac line I recall goes to the modulator (pictured) which is supposed to control the shift-point (rpm) depending on how hard the accelerator is pushed.

I *believe* the open tube in your 2nd pic is just a vent - which would probably drip if you over-filled the fluid-level.

You are saying both of those lines in the 1st pic are connected to manifold vacuum?

Yesterday I removed the line that was plugged and replaced the vacuum hoses on the good line. No change in my first gear chugging issue, I am thinking carb issue???
