Thanks for the response 87-300E, very helpful. I looked at the broken line today, and I incorrectly stated before that it comes from the air filter housing. It is actually a vacuum line that branches off from the large black rubber(?) piece that goes from the side of the valve cover into the top of the air cleaner housing. the vacuum line in question "disappears" under the air filter housing.
