2.25 Petrol vacuum

Hi guys 

Im starting to reinstall the engine in my series 3 and all of its associated pipework etc. 

There is a push fitting in the manifold with a pipe attached that I believe is for creating a vacuum and I think goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor? 

Could anyone confirm this? 

Also where does the vacuum for the brake servo come from? 

Thanks

The fitting on the manifold is for brakes, though often blanked off when there's no servo. It's about 1/2" internal diameter. Distributor vacuum will be a small fitting on or near the carb, usually right by the throttle plate. Post some pics, I'll be able to point a few things out :)
