it hooks up on the card. there a small port that has vac. all the time.  on holley it on the passenger side on edelbroke its on the right front side. q jet u will have to use a vac. gauge to find it.  and that ball thing is for vac. controls on your heater/ac it helps to keep the vac. at a steady level so your controls work the same all the time. if u dont have it, when u are driving around sometime u will be able to change the setting and some time not.
