Look at this pic. Your pic is too small and dark to really see what you are referring to, but I think it might be the vacuum tube to the cruise control servo, or the tube after the tee fitting that goes to the vacuum reservoir under the right front bumper cap.

If the rubber tee fitting and elbow are still there, you can get that tubing a O'Reilly auto parts. Maybe the fittings as well.

If not, try a junkyard. Those fittings and tube are the same over many years.
