Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and a new owner of an 81 Vette with an 4-speed.
The car runs well for its age, but there are lots of things to be done.
Today I found my first mystery.
I was looking closely at the engine and found the small plastic joint (about 3”) pictured below sitting behind the water pump.
it seemed like it belongs to the air intake somewhere, but I searched everywhere I could see for an opening in need of this joint and couldn’t find where it belongs.
Any and all help would be appreciated. This is the small plastic 90 degree joint in need of a home.

The joint is actually just a piece that had broken off of a larger hose that connects to a solid pipe from the air pump. It broke off at the point where the hose becomes a bellows.
The hose has been replaced with a new one.
thanks for everyone’s input!! The circled hose is what the mystery joint is from.
Looks like it would feed a pcv hose into the base of a breather
