Can you move that plug wire and retake?
The line running down the left side is the booster supply? The one running in front of the carb is the wiper motor supply?
Can you show detailed photos of these?
Can you put an open end wrench on the booster supply line to determine tubing size?Comment

the line for the booster is a 3/8 I JUST replaced mine60 hardtop royal burgundy/ colonial white top

#1 - goes to ??? (0,275 in.)
#2 - goes to driver's side firewall (0,354 in.)
#3 - goes to oposite side firewall (0,275 in.)Attached FilesComment

#2 goes to the booster
#3 goes to the wiper motor
You know what I would do to keep it simple? I would insert a TEE in the flexible vacuum line just off the steel supply line (#2) supplying the booster.
If 3/8", the PCV line should be 1/2". Just buy a stepped TEE, either brass or nylon. It will keep the install clean and it can be returned to OEM easily.Comment

PCV upgrade on '59
Maybe these pix will help... First of all I called that a 2-way junction block, and I guess it should be called a 3-way junction block, since the other end goes into the engine. In my pix, you will see what I have numbered as Lines 1, 2, & 3. Line 1 is the line that comes from the firewall area. In the last picture, you can see Eric's MC and power booster. Line 1 hooks to it, and then goes on (in my case) to the KH booster behind the drives side wheel well. So that is the run for Line 1. Line 2 come off the left side of that junction block and runs down to the fuel pump to the RIGHT side fuel pump vacuum connection. Line 3 comes off the LEFT side of the fuel pump which is the WIPER connection. In the picture you can see the word WIPER with an arrow pointing to that connector. Line 3 then comes up from the fuel pump, in front of the carb, across the passenger side of the engine, to the firewall, through the hole in it and to the wiper motor. Along the way, there is a rubber hose connected to it to make the connection with the wiper motor. I hope this helps. As for tubing sizes, I do not have that information.
Eric ~ DKHeld has a technical item on this in the TRL called Vacuum Hose Routing. Here is the link to it.

In your picture, your Line 1 is my Line 2 and your Line 2 is my Line 1. Line 3 in both is the line going to the wiper motor.

PS: found the TEE local supplier already
PS2: still don't have the draft tube connector - seems I will have to deal with it locally (and simply) as well. Do you think it's possible to take the road draft tube, cut if off and use it as a connector to the PCV hoose somehow? If it doesn't fall apart on the removal...Comment

There are subtle difference(s) between the 58 and 59/60.
Is there any way you would be willing to take more concise photo(s) of your car regarding this photo in the TECH SECTION?
In this picture above you can also see how the line comes off the (#1) steel line mentioned above through the check valve and then connects to the brake booster. You can see how that rubber line from the check valve goes to the "T" on top of the power brake booster.
Does the booster line actually split at some point or am I misreading the author's description?Comment

the booster line doesn't really split it runs from the 2 way connector(3/8 steel line) upto( rubber hose) into what I think is a check valve then over to the T connector (still rubber hose)on the back of the booster then to the vacuum canister behind the wheelwell still rubber hose60 hardtop royal burgundy/ colonial white top

THANK YOU SIR...Comment

Do I get it right that the line marked on the pictures is a vacuum to the power brake booster?Comment

That's correct. It goes to a tank inside the fender and from there to the booster under the dash.
