Throttle body to...

Quick, simple question. Just below where the pcv hose plugs to the throttlebody, there is another "male" connector. Where does this connect to? I can't find any loose hose and I must not have drawn a diagram when I tore the top of the motor down (I drew pictures or took photos of everything else).

BTW, it is an 88GTA, 305 -stock, with A/C.

I did a search and didn't find anything and any engine bay photos I found weren't any help (neither was Haynes). I have a shop manual but it is the wrong year. I'll pour through that while I wait for an answer here.

Thanks

Kevin

That one, (if it is the one I am picturing in my mind) should have a hose that connects to the smog canister. Located near the pass. side fender.

There is a canister up front, right next to the air filter canister. It looks like there is one place to connect a hose on there, except there is a plastic block off piece prohibiting the connection. Is this where it would connect, or am I still loking for something else?

Again, it is the "male" nub in between the pcv connection and the coolant connection on the TB.
