You have a vented optispark (a.k.a. poorly designed distributor). This allows any moisture that may accumulate to exit, without drawing any moisture back in (which could happen if you just leave it like it was).

mine hasnt been plugged in for months, mostly because i dont want to drill my trick flow intake elbo. so far no problems with my opti spark been working great. i think as long as you get dry air going down that hose should be ok.
