Quality vacuum gage is required ;-) engine at running temperature around 18 to 20 inches Hg = vacuum
Your distributor needs vacuum to advance your timing during acceleration. That's why you hook up your line to the port that has no vacuum at idle. :O)

On a 1972 Ford 300 engine, the vacuum hose from the distributor typically connects to a vacuum port on the intake manifold. If the engine runs but does not idle, it could indicate a vacuum leak or that the distributor's vacuum advance is not functioning properly. Check for any loose or damaged hoses, and ensure the carburetor is properly adjusted. Additionally, ensure that the idle speed and mixture settings are correct to help stabilize the idle.
There is no idle adjustment. The idle is controlled by the ECM. You may have vacuum leaks causing incorrect idle speed. The gasket between the throttle body and the intake manifold was known to blow out and cause a vacuum leak.
