What is this called?
I've tried so many search discriptions for this in Jegs, Summit & Google...with no luck, it's the vacuum hose connector on the manifold.
Any ideas where can I get a new one??

Re: What is this called?
Try searching for "vacuum fittings" on summit they have a few you can choose from. That is where I bought mine from.

Re: What is this called?
Looks like they don't sell a direct replacement for mine, but instead have to buy three separate pieces...
Thanks clear.

Re: What is this called?
you might try looking in the Dormans drawers at a good auto supply and I think you can search Dormans online-best of luck! Steve

Re: What is this called?
I had to take a second look. He's in the UK, but I think they still use English units for plumbing fittings, so the brass would work.
I personally like the look of brass fittings, unless you're trying to keep it 100% original. |

Re: What is this called?
I'm glad I saw this thread for sources for intake vacuum fittings. I have always had to scrounge them off of junk motors because,although local parts stores sell lots of parts,they don't sell these.

Re: What is this called?
I have a catalog that I received from Pace Performance ( bathroom reading material ) that displays a bunch of different vacuum T's. I would think that you could go to their site and find this. The brass comments work just as well, but IMO seem to end up bigger, and in the way. Take a picture of your setup and post it. There are a bunch of us with an opinion as to what you should do.
I love this site. Make sure you post your set up: automatic or manual trans A/C or not ETC |

Re: What is this called?
I guess I'm cheap... junk yards have tons of these, and I have never been charged for little stuff like this
