anyone with a GSL automatic?

hey guys i just bought another rx7 this time its a 1st gen.

my question is this does anyone know where i can find or source out a vac diagram for a automatic? there is a hard line coming out the drivers side of the middle of the trans and runs a rubber hose all the way up to the engine bay. i know its a hose to supply air to the trans to supply vac presure for the trans to shift. but im not sure where it originally went to since the car was in peices when i bought the thing. and also the car is running again. but having issues with getting it to have a healthy idle .

so i short i know what i need to do just having some trouble sourcing some of the info. i looked in the archives but it was for manuals. any help guys? pictures would be great!

81 GSL automatic/ stock setup/ replaced everything that was bad . fuel lines ,fuel pump, changed out most of the vac lines. good compresstion. rebuilt nikki from a junk yard car. and also have the original nikki rebuilt and ready to go if needed.

vacuum throttle valve

The hose for the vacuum throttle valve should be connected to the port at the lower left side of the carb, below the throttle opener.
This is per Fig. 1A-84 of the 1979 factory shop manual.
Yours should be similar.
PM me if you want a scan of the page.

thanks so much wecycle !

i didnt notice the port from a top view looking down at the carb . but when i was leaning over the drivers fender i saw the port hole thanks again. now i just need to get this car a healthy idle now. the idle seems to want to hunt around a bit...
