Where, on the carb, do I hook up the vaccuum line for vaccuum advance on the dist??

I just swapped from my computer controlled distributor to a standard vaccuum advance HEI. I can't figure out where to put the vaccuum line on the carb. The one that controls the vaccuum advance on the distributor.

Also, I have a roller cam, the distributor I swapped in doesn't have the gear made for a roller cam. I do plan on swapping in a flat tappet cam in a few weeks though. Is this going to be ok for a couple hundred miles? Thanks.

you'd want the vacuum above the throttle plates. if you have a factory hydrolic roller you're distributor gear will be fine.
