Distributor Vacuum

I've got a 56 F100 - but I believe it has a 292 from a 57 or 58. It's got a Holley 2300 (List number 1371-1) on a C0AE intake and a C3TF carb. To what do I hook up the vacuum advance?

There's a port on the passenger side of the carb towards the front but it's plugged. I didn't notice any ports on the intake manifold. Does the dizzy plug into the capped port on the carb?

My 56 also had a Holley but a 750cfm and the vacuum advance was connected to the side of metering block. There was also a plug near the intake but that was connected for the trans vacuum. The holley was replaced with a edelbrock, much easier to adjust and no leaks from the gaskets.
