Help me name this hose?
This little hose connects to the throttle body down to the block. What is the name of it and where can I get one? Would NAPA have one or do I need to order it? Thanks a lot. TM
P.S. If I ever get this car back together it will be a miracle. God bless the forum.

THROTTLE BODY TO INTAKE HEATER HOSE
You can find the listing for this on Corvette Central's web site. You should be able to get this through most parts stores.....or do the TB by pass and eliminate it all together.

Unless you live in a cold weather state, bypass the throttle body. It circulates warm water in and out of the throttle body to keep it from icing in cold weather. Also heats up the intake charge in warm weather which will reduce hp. Leave it off if you don't need it. Plug it or connect the 2 hoses, one into and one out of the throttle body.

Is there any downside to plugging the hose? I just replaced the upper rad hoses, and don't want to just toss them.
