Okay I can't get any picture small enough to post it on here so I'm just gonna copy the link, and if you go down to step 23 its' the second picture, tube on the right, the tube comes out of the throttle body and goes down to the front valve cover. What is this tube called and where can I buy it? My old one was so brittle I had to cut it off with a razor. Thanks!

That hose is part of the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system. It normally supplies fresh air taken from just behind the throttle plate to the left valve cover. Crankcase vapors return in a hose that connects from the valley of the block to the underside of the throttle body. At WOT, crankcase vapors can flow to the throttle body through both hoses. As Off Road SHO suggests, use any oil resistant hose specified for PCV systems.
