>>>...except on Panteras.   The stock Pantera intake manifold used a large 
vacuum fitting mounted on the back of the intake manifold, on the right side 
in one of the runners, to feed the brake booster.   It has a small nipple 
on it which routes vacuum forward to the distributor.   If you look in the 
Ford parts book, you can clearly see it on the first page of section 60, the 
engine section.

Doesn't make it right, or smart.   Just makes it original....

And I believe that at some point, the Pantera switched to a push-pull 
system with two vacuum lines on the distributor, didn't they?   It's all magic to 
me....
