Subject:85 engine question

Hello, I just purchased an 85 Vanagon Westy the other day, nice upgrade from
my 74 bus. I drove it 8 hours home yesterday, ran great, no leaks. This
morning I was showing my uncle the engine and we noticed a lid to something
had come off. I haven't gotten my bentley from UPS yet, so I am not sure
what it is. It sits just left of the alternator and a few inches to the
right of the distributor. It is a black cylinder on end, about the same size
as the coil on my 74. It has a hose going to the air intake and has a soft
rubber thing on top that I can push easily. The lid had been held on with
glue or silicon and just kind of came loose. I would like to know what the
cylinder is and how should I reattach the lid?

Thanks,
Nathan
