IIRC, that hose operates the auxilliary air door that lets air from the
preheat muff over the exhaust manifold to be inducted into the engine when
it is cold. It should connect to black plastic intake duct that mounts in
the drivers side front just below the airbox. 'course, mine is removed and
there is now a cap over that vaccum tap, so this is based on a 2 year old
memory.
