Missing Vacuum Hose
Hello Everyone! I am the proud owner of my very first Corvette and had a quick question. The previous owner installed a engine dress up kit. Though it looks good I noticed that there was a host possibly missing as you can see below. I looked around to see if it just popped off but I don't see any in the area that aren't attached. Anyone have any ideas on if I should be concerned or not?

Looks like maybe the catch can setup was removed and the previous owner didn't bother putting everything back to stock. Did you have someone look over the car before buying? Is the CPO?

Thanks for the help however I looked a little harder and the hose did indeed slip off. It is too big for the fitting and needs a smaller one it looks like.

The previous owner heated or cut the factory hose (the only way to get it to release) which caused a permanent deformation.
You will need a new hose section, or cut & re-heat to spec.
