Vacuum line

I have a vac. line coming from the distribtor and goes back towards the carb. I can't find anywhere to plug it in at.I was changing the coil and pulled off the air cleaner and BAM..There's this rubber line not hooked up,just laying in front of the carb.
It's a 360/390 with a Motorcraft 2v carb.
Any idea's on where this line should be hooked up?Thanks for the help-

There should be a ported vacuum source on the passenger side of the carburetor at the base, under the choke linkage. Should be a 3/16" barbed fitting.

There is already a vac. line hooked up there.It's going toward the back of the engine near the firewall and goes into a tee.I never noticed the one off from the distibutor,I guess I was'nt looking for it to be off either.

If the one in the pic is the one you are looking at, I think someone hooked it up wrong. I would pull that line off and plug it at the vac tee, and plug the line from your vac advance in here.
