That's the breather hose that vents the crankcase vapors back into the intake so they are consumed by the engine. My '85 300 turbo vents these vapors both into the air cleaner center and also the intake to the turbo. It's another emissions device but in this case has the additional benefit of preventing an oily residue running down your engine by routing it back into the intake system.
