what is this tube on the T/B

What is the tube on the upper right side of the throttle body, right above the throttle cable. I bought a 80mm BBK from someone on here and it does not have this tube sticking out but it has a hole. So i took the one off the stock TB and it is not threaded but the hole on the bbk is, it doesn't fit. Now what?

thottle cable is on the left, or your other right, of the TB (as viewed from the front of the vehicle). Take your new TB to the hardware store and find a threaded niple that will fit so you can connect the hose.

That is a vent hose. collant lines are on the lower portion of the TB

Sorry, I work on planes so everything (right and left) are described from sitting in the jet facing forward. Yes it is the vent hose that goes to the valve cover. I guess I'll just go to home depot and see what I can find. I just didn't want to have to carry it around. The T/B is attached to the manifold and RTVed since it is a 80mm and the manifold inlet is fully ported. So I have to carry the hole thing in there. O'well. Thanks everyone.
