Default Vacuum line to Master Cylinder?

You'll see another post from me shortly regarding my brake gremlins. Question, "What is the purpose of the vacuum line that ports just below the rear carb throttle plate, has some sort of filter in-line and attaches to the front of the master cylinder drum?" '80 :confused:

The vacuum line is like the hydralic line to your power steering. This is the power source.
