I broke this little piece. What is it? 85 SS with BBC
I was checking to be sure this hose was attached well and broke it. This 85 SS has been changed to a carbureted BBC engine. You can probably see that the piece broke beneath the edge of the air filter, between the carburetor and distributor. In case the video color is a challenge, the wire is purple. I made a video and posted it to youtube.
Can someone tell me:
1. What it is?
2. If possible, can I start the car before fixing it?
3. How to fix it?
Link to video I took on youtube.

What Big Block Engine do you have ? "348" ? "409" ? ___?
It may help our experts when they view your video...
I don't think it will hurt your engine to start `it ? ?
I can see where it is broke, but I'm not sure what it was connected to...Who did the install of the BBE ? Can you contact that person ?
Please check back on your thread later to see `if one of our Expert Member's can assist...Good Luck

I think the purple line goes to your air /heat control panel ..
Looks like vacuum port in manifold behind carb .. just unscrew it an install a new fitting..
you could get a fitting .. if you need more ports for other stuff,
