As far as I know you have two alternatives. One is to tee into the vacum hose on the top of your dump valve.
I T-ed into the hose at the manifold as per the pic below. The only thing I did differently from the pic was to attach a short piece of hose to the manifold connection and attach the T piece to that. This allows you to go back to standard easily if required.
There is no rubber bung on a bugeye engine. That only applies to Classics I think.
