Default Headlite vac hose to where?

So now that things are working well (finally), and darkness is falling earlier, I want to venture out in darkness. But the headlite vac hose has no port left!! Where should it go? Thanks ... :confused:

Just behind the vacuum filter is a T, just to the right of the filter in the picture. One side from the filter and the other has 2 ports , one goes through the firewall and the other to the head lights. I never had a vacuum tank so mine went directly to the head lights. My vacuum tank was a large crash pipe in the front of the car.

The diagram shows a small hex shape, but I have a three-way tee behind the carb in the manifold. Drivers side is for cruise, top for trans, and passenger side for AC? Maybe it goes to back of carb? But everything there is also taken...hmmm...I will go take another look
