I'd run it from the manifold, especially if it also shows vacuum. Certainly don't plumb it in to anything that leaks air i.e. if you're using a bleed valve.

Ideally it's supposed go to the inlet manifold, on its own connection. Though i have mine fitted to the vacuum advance connection, as i dont use this for the dizzy. It seems accurate enough fitted here & has been like this for 5+ years.

or is that complete bubbles ?

you can, but you'll get a better idea of what your engines seeing if its off the inlet manifold.
