Anyone know what this hose is?
This hose has been hanging there every since i bought the car almost 2 years ago. Anyone know what it is or where it plugs in to? Is it a hazzard being unplugged?
Here it is:

It hooks up to your air cleaner assembly. I think it operates the butterfly in the assembly intake. I think it's a thermac. I could be wrong on that name though.

It is for the thermac in the stock air cleaner snorkel. I would just cap it and get rid of that piece of hose. I think there is a pic that labels the vacuum ports in the new to TBI sticky above.

Yeah, if your running an open element you should just plug it. Leaving it open will make your car run crappy.

I switch back and forth between an open element and a dual snorkel. When I use the open element I just plug it with a screw or something like that.

Inspection?
I'm curious if you notice any difference in performance between the two.

Inspection is one reason. Another is to see if there is any differenct between the two. And I have not found any. Another reason is the black chromed dual snorkel looks better for a car show or something like that.
