Carb question

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of rebuilding my Dellorto DLRA36 carbs, all is going fine but I have a question about the proper placement of my vacuum advance hose for my distributor. Is it supposed to be above or below the throttle plate?
I have a 061 distributor, there is a port above the throttle plate that has steady vacuum all the time and an adjustable port below the throttle plate that I can open or close to provide vacuum....

Anybody know?

Thank you,
