Is this nipple missing a hose??

On the driver's side of the engine directly above the coil pack is what appears to be some type of purge valve. The interesting parts is there's a nipple on it but no hose is attached. Is this normal?

that is the boost control solenoid. that port is to vent boost pressure

early build 600s and 65s had this part and it was made be pegasus and they used to fail.

This is pretty much boost by gear controller you hear about these days. MB had it in 2003

I can look at mine tonight, but I do not recall seeing a open nipple like that on mine.

NVM, Shardul beat me to it. I'll still look at mine though since now you have me curious.

Thanks. That's one less thing for me to worry about.
