    There should be a spot on the intake below the carb.

    yeah, the intake manifold should have a big threaded (1/2") plug on one side.

    the one that is on the car has a little port under the carb. like 1/4 inch pipe. Wouls that be enough to run a booster from. All the late model garbage I work on everyday has something like 3/8. Ill try it. thanks.

    That's the last resort. Even though it's not a leak (it's a closed circuit to the diaphragm) the car may stall when you exhaust the canister with a few stops since the vacuum drops until the can refills.
    I'd put it farther away.
