'63 FUEL PUMP VACUUM QUESTION

[Gerk]

I am planning to replace my vacuum wipers with electric.
I removed the hose from the fuel pump.
What do I do with the vacuum now that there is no hose attached?
Do I have to buy a new pump or can I divert the vacuum somewhere or what?
Could it be part of why my engine doesn't run well?
Sorry for the ignorance, just not a fluid engine guy.

Thanks all for your assistance

For that version of a Scout 80, the vacuum nipples on the actual fuel pump should simply be connected together using a piece of hose.

However, there is a hose to the intake manifold at the fitting for the pcv valve. Remove that tube and simply place a plug in that hole or you will have an engine vacuum leak.

So I have this straight. The hose that is going into the intake, pull that off, plug that hole and attched the hose to the other vacuum line on the fuel pump?
