Hello again friends, I have an obvious vacuum leak. Car is having the common vacuum leak symptoms, complete with audible vacuum "suck" sound coming from underneath the plenum... or as I lovingly call it, the spider-monkey.

Before I start pulling parts to find this tube's other half, I am hoping some members may help me identify it and where it may go.

The natural bend in the tube is heading up under the plenum. I have it laying up for the pics.

Obviously, I know what needs to be done and am not excited about it, but any comments or help may be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

pic 1, the tube in it's almost-natural state, although the bend has it kinda heading up under the plenum.

pic 2, for reference.

pic 3, for reference...

Vacuum hose routing is almost uncomprehensible until one studies the engine with the top half apart, then after a few hours it all makes sense.
