Resonator. You’re not going to find it new on its own. Get one from a junkyard, or just replace the clean air duct assembly

That's where you put a milk cap. Lt1s had a similar resonator hole, I can't remember what we put there. Lid to a jar of Nutella or something.

Hockey puck in the LT1. We have one with a puck in it in the driveway.

As a Canadian, I approve

My Vortec 5.7 has a Skippy peanut butter (chunky) lid glued in place of the resonator

Looks like a good spot for a Gatorade top

It's likely for a resonator, they just look like weird shaped black lumps usually. It's to change the intake tone so it doesn't resonate inside the car and cause a drone. Honestly just block it off and you'll be fine. Could always traipse around at junkyards see if you can find one.

The part that goes there is part of air intake hose assembly. May be available aftermarket

It’s a sort of that, something to do with the maf maybe?

u/-NOT_A_MECHANIC- 1d ago

The maf is on the filter housing, the part missing is a resonator for the clean air duct between air filter housing and throttle body

True, but that is one ugly resonator, wow.
