? about Greddy elbow

On the stock elbow there is a hose coming off the back of it. Now on the Greddy elbow there is no nipple for the hose. What is that hose and what do I do with it?

The hose is part of the Accelerated Warmup System (AWS). When switching to the Greddy Elbow, the most common thing that is done is to disable the AWS. Click this link and it will tell you all about it:

I have the GReddy Elbow and I wasn't too happy with it. The only thing I didn't like is that I had to send it to a shop to polish the elbow, because GReddy did a poor job on it.

Another simple question that is in the maintenance manual.

I never ended up replumbing mine (I wrote the post on that site). I moved to a warmer climate and it never stalled on cold start again, so I had no reason to switch from having it plugged. It has been plugged for three years with no problems. Plug it.

I pulled the hose off the car and used a 5/8 rubber cap. Thanks for the help!
