The vacuum hose connects to the larger of the two ports. Your car should have a two stage fuel pump. The lower half pumps fuel to the carb and the upper half assists the manifold vacuum for the wipers. A metal line runs from the manifold to the right side of the upper pump and then another metal line runs from the left side of the upper pump, underneath the manifold and curves up just after the last exhaust port. It stops just above that where a rubber hose takes over and connects to the wiper motor.

I don't have a photo at hand...perhaps another reader does.
