Unknown hose
I was pulling my spark plugs yesterday and accidentally ripped a hose that goes from the air filter housing down to a cylinder that sits just above the frame. Does anyone know what this hose is or what it does? I'll post pictures tonight when I get home. Also I'm not exactly sure what happened but after I put the spark plugs back in it now the engine makes a faint ticking noise when I get on the gas. Could this be the hose or something else? I have a 72 f100 with a 360. Thanks for all the help!

If you're referring to a paper-like hose that goes down to a charcoal canister (9D653) on the right front frame rail, it is part of the emissions system for a vented fuel tank.

No. No sound at all. It vents fuel vapor from the fuel tank, through the charcoal canister and then gets recycled into the air cleaner. It's just a vent hose.

It is part of the evaporative emissions system (Evap/Em) for a non vented fuel tank.

Evap/Em introduced in 1970, was installed initially in 1970/72: Passenger Cars/Bronco's/Econolines & F100's all sold new in CA .. Other states may have required it as well.
With Evap/Em, there is a fuel vapor valve located in the tank(s), vapor line(s) routes along the right frame rail to a valve on the charcoal canister located under the hood.
A corrugated (factory) paper hose routes from this valve to an elbow on the air cleaner. HIO's pic shows the auto parts store replacement hose, the original was black.

Evap/Em: Non vented fuel cap, unleaded gas. The fuel filler tube(s) and the fuel tank(s) used with Evap/Em are also different.

Non-vented tank uses a vented cap. 
Evaporative Emission uses a 4 'eared' non vented fuel cap, the fuel filler tubes are specific to this type of cap, unleaded gas is required.
No Evaporative Emission, the fuel cap is vented and has 2 'ears' on it, no unleaded fuel required.
There is no vent on the 1961/77 in-cab tanks, so it's muy importante that one uses the correct fuel cap. Optional auxiliary tanks might have a vent, might not if Evaporative Emission is in place.
And, the auxiliary tanks with Evaporative Emission are smaller than the non Evaporative Emission tanks (1967/72: 22.5 gallons vs 25 gallons).
