The vacuum hose that goes from my distributor (in my '74 2.0) to the throttle body, is missing. Is it required? What's the purpose of this hose? Must adjust the timing somehow? If I replace the hose, what impact will it have on how my engine is running?

That engine should have a vacuum retard line. It should affect idle only. Install it. It connects to the vacuum port that points toward the distributor body, not the one that points away.
