Don't now if your talking about ports on the carb or intake manifold. If the carb, it needs to have full manifold vacuum at idle. Not ported vacuum. If the intake manifold vacuum tree, then any port that is the correct diameter will have manifold vacuum.

Gotcha Merc Cruzer. I was kind of thinking that after I replied. Not 100% sure, but I think one port is for the hose, and the other a vent ? Should be able to tell by puting a vacuum hose on one or the other to see which one makes the motor move when vacuum is applied.
