Use the one that goes to the top of the dump valve.

don't use that hose.  Use the one off of your fuel pressure regulator.  It is a direct feed off of the manifold.  The hose going to the diverter valve has pressure regulated by a couple valves and is not accurate

I used zip ties to run it next to the hard plastic brake vac line.  Then I ran it in the firewall thru the grommet located next to the brake booster
