Find a vacuum port on the carb or intake. I never looked under the hood to see where the line was hooked to, just cut the hose when I took the gauge out.

Re: how do i hook up a vaccume guage
Hooking it directly to a fitting on the intake is the best thing to do so you get a true and accurate intake vaccuum reading. There may very well be an unused & plugged vaccuum port on the intake behind your carb that you can pull and install a hose fitting into.
