front, top of passenger side. sometimes it has a metal "T" tube.
back of baseplate near the large port for the power brake booster connection.
if I can find a cable to connect my camera-phone to the PC I can take some pics to explain.

On my old q-jet the lower driverside pipe, Thats where the vacuum advance was on the old setup. Buy a cheap vacuum gauge at idle hookmit up to the port and you should have about 20" of vacuum, rev it up and the vacuum should drop a little, If it is ported at idle you would have no vacuum till you reved it up then it would go up to 20" then start to drop off.
