Default Need part number or name

I need the short coolant tube with collar nut that exits the right rear of my '86 convert intake manifold. Could not find it on parts drawings at dealer. It connects via hose to another small pipe that connects to the heater hose.

Anyone know what it's called or where it is illustrated in parts drawings?

Thanks

In my parts CD for my L98 (although it's a '89 so I hope yours is the same) - Section 1-H (illustration 1-H1, description 1-H5) - Three parts:
12541500 - Tubing, manifold vapor (5/16)
12339996 - Hose, manifold vapor
22527587 - Clamp, manifold vapor hose

This comes off the rear of the intake and into a "formed" "T" in the heater inlet hose. Since the radiator filler cap is lower than the intake (and most people don't know how to RPM pack the cooling system), this bleeds air trapped in the system (which tends to create hot spots at the rear of the heads/intake area) back into the cooling system through the heater hose which is higher than the radiator hoses or the fill point. This was eliminated by the raised fill tank when they changed to the slanted radiator. :flag
