The FMU fuel lines are connected to the return lines coming off the fuel rails. You tap it in between hard-line connection going from the fuel rails to the return (fat one) line.

The vacuum line is tapped into the PRESSURIZED manifold of your KB setup --or-- tapped into the portion of your vac line between the pressurized manifold and the one way check valve going to tthe unpressurized manifold.

(cheesy makeshift diagram)

[] unpress manifold> []tap for Map sensor> []tap for vac/boost guage> []check valve> []tap for FMU > []tap for vac/boost gauge> []Press Manifold

Edit: Oh... and I would not run locked out timing. Set initial timing at 10* BTC.
