Were does vacuum advance line hook up on carburetor for a 1970 400 Pontiac gto?

Vacuum advance for 1970 was connected thru a solenoid and shut off until Top Gear using the transmission switch to allow or deny vacuum to the advance in the factory setup. The debate is split among car guys as to which carb hookup to use ported or manifold attachment on cars without egr and pollution controls. The consensus seems to be that you set your timing and idle with the line plugged off on carb and then try each hook up and see what works best for you. I have a 1973 400 in my GTO and all the pollution gear is removed. I recently fixed my advance and so far have found manifold or below the butterfly to work best for me but, as I stated some swear by the ported or above the butterfly hookup and a pretty good arguement can be made for either way depending on your application street or strip. Most strip diehards disconnect the vac and dial all the advance into the initial and mechanical combined so that at wide open throttle all the advance is present. I recently went to a car show and believe it or not the guys with aftermarket or hotrod parts had evenly split on the subject and neither could be persuaded.

1970 Chevelle SS with a 454 engine what should the timing be without the vacuum advance then with the vacuum advance and at what RPMs?
Which 454? The LS5 and LS6 are two VERY different engines even though they are both 454's. Timing specs are different as well. 8 degrees before TDC at idle will work for either, but may not be optimal.
