Sounds like your talking about the vacuum reservoir situated between the master cylinder and the carb  . There should be a sticker on the underside of the bonnet which has a diagram of where all the vacuum pipes / hoses go, trusting that you still have the original carb fitted 

Hope this helps  :smiley:
