hose identification

[sciroccos at earthlink.net (Jim Ruffi)]

The car will run badly or not at all if there are leaks in the air hose
between the fuel distributor and throttle body.  I don't recall whether or
not this fitting has a restrictor or one-way valve built in.  Was this
broken when you r&r'd your airmeter?  Might be the cause of your problem.
