By FI he meant what kind of forced induction----not----fuel injection but the answer is still the same... Any connection on the manifold should work fine, just tee off an existing vacuum line.

Use the nipple at the rear of the intake manifold on the passenger side. Carefully cut the end of the nipple off and put your hose connection to your gauge on there.
