Default Help Figuring Out where this vacuum line goes

i just replaced the distributor after having many problems with ignition control module, and also had to replace battery. it seems to be running alot better than before but is still stalling out/loss of power while accelerating. Was taking a look under hood and noticed this vacuum line sitting by the distributor and cant seem to find where it could go. anybody know where this could go?
this line is coming from front of engine compartment near radiator then appears to go across to drivers side of engine compartment

ok i see what your talking about up there but there is a thicker black rubber hose that is connected there already and runs towards the rear of the engine. i just noticed this though. should this be blocked off? this is under my throttle body. thanks for the input guys

Thats an evap line. Probably a purge line. that should go into the intake somewhere. where ever it goes is probably a source of a vac leak and that can cause your problems.

ok that is what i was figuring but the only place i could see it going would be under the throttle body but it has a plug over it, does anybody know if that is where it goes or where it should go?
