It is the tube/hose in the upper right hand corner. Seems like it goes from brake mc to the engine. I think it is a vaccum line of somekind. I need a new one without all the t fittings. Going from fi to na. TIA

Sure looks like it to me too. If that is an aluminum block in the center with the hose fittings, than that is the hose coming off the brake booster.

It's your brake vacuum booster hose. Just a simple hose for getting manifold vacuum to the booster.

The one in the pic has been modified by the addition of the fitting in the middle of it. Looks like the mod allows for a vacuum source for some other item not shown.

That round shiny thing in the top of your picture is a worthless part. You should just send it to me, I'll even cover shipping . . . .
