The vacuum advance attaches to the back carb, not to
the intake manifold. There's a small nipple on the
bottom side of the back carb
If you can't find another original type vacuum advance
line, you can use just a little bit of yours - the part
with the screw-on connector - and attach vacuum hose to
it all the way to the carb. Originally there was a
short piece of vacuum hose betwen the metal line and
the carb.
