EJ Vacuum Advance Pipe?

Where does the vacuum advance pipe run in EJs? I have a suspicion that it goes from the carburettor rearwards alongside the rocker cover, round the back of the rocker cover, down the back of the pushrod cover, forward at the bottom of the pushrod cover (between distributor and pushrod cover?), and then there's a flexible hose to connect to the vacuum advance.
It's because of the dipstick tube.
Any photos would be much appreciated.

Looks like it from this photo:

The only thing snaking round the front of the rocker cover is the fuel pipe.

Sounds exactly the same as the setup on my EJ. Same route and Flexi hose connection to the vacuum advance at the dizzy. I don’t have any photos on my phone but will take some next time I am with the car.
