It looks to be just a hose coming out of an EGR hole. Since it appears the EGR is hooked up (driver's side front valve cover to carb base), I'd yank the hose and put a breather in there.

another thing i notice is all that rubber hose that you're running to supply the carb with is just a great big old fire waiting to happen

that, my friend, is a breather hose for the PCV system. filtered air from the air cleaner goes into that tube. just take it out & get a push-in breather (chromie) from your favorite parts store.

Yep, I didn't really pay attention to the hose, but 68C15 is absolutely right.

if you use the stock air cleaner spacer you will need to keep it. the engine sucks bypass pressure from the bottom end using this and the pcv. if you put a breather there instead, you will have to clean it often because of engine blow-by. i would use it.

Wow, those stupid GM engineers made that hose connect to the air cleaner when all they needed to do was install a slobbering chrome breather instead.

So it needs to go like this. I can't find any place for it to hook up to.does anyone have a better pic of it connected to the carb base.
Thanks, Troy

Forget the carb base...the hose hooks to the AIR CLEANER base, not the carb base. Don't have a pic handy, but there's a small plastic filter that fits on the inside of the air cleaner, with a round end that sticks through the air cleaner base. That hose plugs onto the filter end.
If you're going with an aftermarket air filter, check them first. Many have at least an attachment point for this hose. Don't hook it to manifold vacuum (carb base). That'll cause all kinds of problems. SSOW ![]()

I don't have a spacer for my air cleaner (it's a 10" from Auto Zone), it just sits on top of the carb, and has no place for this hose to hook up to.

since you have an aftermarket breather, you are left with the push in chrome filter.
