Dumb CFI question

I just swapped my throttle body back to the original one and have an open vacuum connection at the rear in the base of the unit.  The assembly I had on was from an older 5.0 and didn't have this tube.  I can't for the life of me remember what needs to be connected there.  Anyone have an idea?

yep
just look at your vaccuum tree on the firewall.  trace that PCV hose out to the actual pcv. 

Your pcv for the 3.8 should have two nipples.  Either one that happens bot be extra will run to the gold fitting on the rear of the cfi.  Factory was a metal tube with short sections of rubber hose to attach on each end.

all this is in my diy link on "cleaning the cfi"

Yeah, I briefly looked at the EVTM but didn't find what I was looking for right away.  I have used that for quite a few things since I "won" it.  Thanks again!
