Found my problem....where does the MAP vacuum line hook up?

ok..i had a code 33, low vacuum at MAP and i had checked it out and it was good. It was connected under the map and it ran back behind the engine....i tugged and it was good....but i decided to check again....and when i actually followed it back with my hand i found that it was not plugged into anything!!! no vacuum is definitely LOW vacuum so where does it go? into the TBI unit? thanks a mil
