Help! location of manifold stem/nipple?
Does anyone know where the stem/nipple on the intake manifold is located? The vac hose accidently pulled off when I was trying to undo the hose attached to the bov and now I cant find where it originally came from!
Can someone confirm this is the correct vacuum stem on the manifold?? Also, I have a Tial Q bov and they told me I need a larger .25 inner diameter vac line then the .16 I'm currently using, however when I test fitted a .21 it did not fit snug onto the stem in the pic, it did not take much wiggle force to come off. Is it still ok or should I stick with the .16? Last edited by dy62180; 10-05-2012 at 02:09 PM.. Reason: forgot to attach pic. can someone confirm this is the stem/nipple in the center of the pic? |

That hose doesn't just pop off like that from the manifold. Chances are you broke that nipple and to fix it, It's not going to be fun. Either you buy a new manifold or like others stated JB weld it in place. Getting to that nipple to JB weld it is Another story as its requires you to take off a couple of parts to get a clear look at that nipple.
