Vacuum Hookup

I am trying to hookup a vaccuum gauge to my 79 RX7 w/12a. I am wondering where - which vacuum line, should I "Tee" the gauge to.

I have been trying to find a vacuum line around to carb that has constant vacuum, but no joy.

Any input with be greatly appreciated.

The black spacer that the carb sits on. In between the carb and the manifold. He said to put it on the front port. Run youre tee from there I guess .
