If it's desmogged, then you can do it just about anywhere there's an unused port.

I would pick a hose that's close to the manifold, put another t-fitting in it and hook the gauge up to the t-fitting. That's if it's a mechanical gauge.

Only downside that I see is that a dedicated vacuum gauge will have twice the needle swing area as does the best boost gauge for your needs. Resolution won't be all that great.
Have you looked at Summit?

You really need manifold vac.
"any" port on the carb will not give you the results you want..

When I was writing I was thinking manifold only. It never occurred to me to put a vacuum gauge on the carb, but some people...

The last fitting on the back of the intake manifold, the vertical one with the round cooling fins, has a tube coming off the side of the main tube. I thought that would make a good place. As it turns out, I sold my 60 before I got around to installing the vacuum guage.
But I may be getting another one soon!
