The rusted bung isn't stock, pretty sure the switch isn't either. You should have a port running off of the intake hose to the power steering pump, that may be someone's attempted fix to a tear or something in the past (although it isn't in the correct location)

I kinda thought that. Should I try and plug it? The lower bung that runs to the PS is intact, threads are bad but it functions. And the switch could that be the park brake switch? The wiring looks oem....no butt connectors or anything.

I'd plug it, otherwise you'll have a significant vacuum leak.

The switch could be the parking brake switch. Check the wiring colors against the TEWD. Does either pressing or releasing the plunger cause the "Brake" light to turn on when the ignition is on?
The hose pictured isn't stock. I'm sure it's just something someone found that would fit instead of buying a new one. The only additional port on the N/A intake is the power steering vacuum port as BT mentioned but that is before the resonator.

Well I tried pushing the plunger and nothing happens, however I can see where the screw holes are there's metal threads so maybe it has to be grounded to complete the circuit? Im gonna ground it out later and see what happens with the circuit.

I already told you that's not a factory elbow and thus not a factory bung... Just someone's hack to make things work.
