MAP sensor question

I am slowly getting my 85 F150 together but I am at a stuck spot. I have the 4.9l with a NP435. I have done a little looking around under the hood hooking up vaccum lines and computer sensors and found out that the previous owner did not hook up the MAP sensor. I have it plugged in but where do I run the vaccum line from the sensor to? Does it plug in to the carb somewhere?

Find a spot down low on the carb with manifold vacuum, or find a spot on the intake itself with manifold vacuum, where there is suction at all times.
