Where does the vacuum hose that comes out of the fuel regulator plug into?

never mind...i was successful with the search feature!!
 
mine has been dangling for months...good, another small fix that my car is almost certain to notice. i was reading bma tips section and they spoke of the fuel reg causing the pump to moan and cause efficiency issues. i'm almost certain that this is part of the culprit. i'll post with results later if anyone is interested.

I had to replace this hose --- I bought a generic piece of vacuum hose from Autozone but I definitely cut it a couple inches longer than it was from the factory.  Will this cause a problem?  I haven't tried to start it yet.
