Where does this vacuum hose go? (from throttle body)

Can't seem to find where this last vacuum hose goes. It's the red hose that comes off the throttle body in the picture(not the blue one).

think I found it. Followed this picture and there was a nipple under the other side of the throttle body.

It goes to the double throttle dashpot that holds the secondary throttle plates closed when the engine is cold.

I'm pretty sure I got that line routed correctly now but I must have mixed something up because the throttle is way more responsive now which I assume is from the secondary throttle plates not staying closed. Well, I'm not really complaining
