Opti Vent for LT1 Conversion (Photo) 
First off, this LT1 is in an '86 Volvo 740 Wagon, see the link for details.
I added an MSD Optispark (8381, '94 LT1) and need to find a good place to pull clean air for the vent. The instructions say:

Locate the supplied 90° vacuum nipple. Using a 3/16" drill bit, drill a hole in the air intake duct and install the nipple (Figure 14). Make sure the barb goes through and into the duct. Connect the line from the distributor cap to this inlet. This line completes the fresh air circulation through the distributor cap.
Is there a good place to tap into filtered air?
Thanks!

yep, drill into the elbow. or get a larger diameter air filter and put it in the base of the filter.
looks like a sweet setup.

I miss my buddy's turbo volvo. I can only imagine how fun SBC one is 
I know it sucks, but +1 for drilling a new holes in the elbow. Just get a longer vacuum line then.
