dashpot. It slightly pushes up on the throttle linkage so when you let off the rpms come down smoothly.

where is the vacuum line that goes to it and how much is a new one?

There is none.

There is no vacuum line. There is that little filter thing and then a piece of vacuum hose attaches it to the little diaphragm on the throttle linkage.
