Default Carbeurator hose

Hello,

Noticed a carbeurator hose that was disconnected. Can anyone help me identify this hose and what it connects to? A bit difficult to see from image, but tried to mark it.

Not much room for it to move, so it would seem pretty obvious where it connects to, but don't see any thing it can actually connect to.

Thanks for help.

-D

Even if it is connected to the air cleaner, wouldn't it still cause a vacuum leak? Block it off with a golf tee or something, and see if it runs any better. Or worse. Or the same.

The stock air cleaner in later C3's has a vacuum operated door to direct warm air from the exhaust manifold into the air cleaner during warm up.

Yes, and in 1979 there were two.
