AirGap Vacuum port for headlights?

Hey where do you guys with Edelbrock AirGap intakes install your plug for vacuum to operate the headlights? I have a BB so if any of you have a pic that would be great!

Thanks

a TEE at the back. mines a 3 way . 1 port to lights, 1 port to pcv and the other i have bunged off..... although i was fiddling with vacum lines myself when this picture was taken so it may not look like how i described in the picture but you can still see the lights vacum line shooting off to the left.

Cool thanks for the info! I am running a hydroboost setup so I don't have the vacuum line for the power booster.

sweet as. you can go either way then but you might as well make use of that carb vacum . i believe its the most vacum so it should speed up your pop up time if you go there.

You should never run your PCV line to a vacuum port on an intake runner.
You will make that cylinder run way lean.
