I have an '82 F-100. It has a Model YFA-1-V Carb. On the air horn there is a
'Hot Air Choke Inlet'. The line leading from it is rusted off. It is a metal
line like gas/brake line. My question is where does this connect to the
engine? I can't locate the other end and the books so far have been of no
help.

Assuming one of the 6 bangers since you didnt say, goes to exhaust manifold
just about below the carb.

the heat opens the choke fully.
many carbed vehicles get the old 'manual choke' after problems in this area.

This is/was a common problem and there is/was a repair kit to fix it.
Check with you local parts stores. If the kit isn't available locally;
check JCWhitney(online). The kit contains new Aluminum tubing that you
have to bend into the same configuration as the original and a fitting
that is installed in the exhaust manifold where the rusted/broken tube
originally terminated.

If it's a V8, it goes to the intake manifold just below
the carb, in the exhaust manifold crossover area.
