So, this morning the plastic coupler (if its called that) cracked inside the intake. It joins the pictured Hose to the Intake.
Any idea where to get this part, or what it's called? Does it Screw in to the intake? Autozone has no clue...
Thx. -TJ

You can just go to the local hardware store and get a hose barb to screw into it. Pretty common failure right there.
Make sure you get all the broken plastic out of the threads.
Or go tell them you need dorman part number 56360

They actually have a few different sizes, they will be in the help section.

Had the same thing on my '95. It was a little bit of a pain to get all the plastic out of the threads, but it was manageable. Careful you don't push any inside it while getting it out, it's easy to do. Be sure that the new one is metal and not plastic, so you don't have to worry about it again.

Been there, done that, could have got the right tools from harbor freight, but I didn't wait, and screwed it up. I still have pieces in there.
This is the tool btw:

I don't think the item linked is correct in all honesty, but you are correct, any auto parts store "help" section should have it. You will know it when you see it.
