Hello!!!
you guys on the down low have been instrumental in getting to where I’m at with my 1960 F100 4x4 Farm Truck. I thank all of you for the help thus far.

I’m waiting for a fan spacer and during the wait I’ve started cleaning different wires, hoses and tubes. Removing the not needed and shortening the excessive. I’ve run into this loop. I assume it was for the stock vacuum advance but I’m stumped. Since it is looped to itself. Can I remove and plug?

292 V8, previous owner installed 4bl edlebrock carb. Which has vacuum coming from carb to distributor.

The area I’m concerned with is circled in black and the loop is outlined in red. Can I remove and plug or is should I attach to something else?

If it has a 4 bbl carb, the manifold is not original. That was likely where the power brakes were hooked up on the T-bird that the manifold came from. You can plug it.
