There's a hose that goes under the breather not off the MAF Sensor but the small vacuum line looking hose, I'm puting on a cone and I'm wondering if I have to plug that hose?

-Thanks-

where does that hose lead? si it a drain hose to let moisture out of the filter box? I don't think there are any other air hoses coming out of the stock air box ont he 80 model, I knwo the turbo 82-83 don't, unless they routed the idle air around the maf which I doubt, it's likley just a drain hose

Well there's not a place for the water to drain to, the hose goes straight into a 3x3 inch square, that there's no place for air or water to drain out of haha.

I think it's just an air hose, when I leave it un-plugged my idle drops a little bit.

Is it true that the MAF has a small screw that can be adjusted?
