Yes, the hose on left side of motor. It goes through the dash and to the tee. You advised to remove it from tee and let it hang there. Since it will be connected to nothing, I was ust wondering what its purpose was, and why I no longer need it.

FYI, I broke the small hose that controls slow speed. Wipers work still in fast mode. Still, the speed is tolarable as I described. It was that way after I oiled the device as instructed and BEFORE I broke the slow speed hose. So, I'm wondering if my fast should be faster, because if it is operating as it should (which is tolerable to me), then slow would be useless.

Maybe I have a weak vacuum. Am wondering because I thought vacuum comes from oil sump. If so, I added a quart of oil to control tappet as many have done. Could adding the extra quart result in poor vacuum quality?

Also, did you say small hoses are 1/8"?
