Hi Terry,
I would first remove the "flat bolt" and then you should be
able to see where the vacuum line attaches ... not sure about 59,
but my 57 has a solid copper? brass? line with a very small
compression fitting that screws into the bottom of the front carb.
Always a pain in the ass trying to remove or replace it as the wrench
size is "unknown", I use a small adjustable one, to do the job ...
slowly ... :-[
Good Luck
