OK, next question. Broken vacuum nipples

[gloryaccordy]

How do I fix these? Mine for #21 and the one from the firewall to the back of the H23 plenum came broken (thanks wagalude). Right now everything is connected in some strange way (#21 is connected above the IAB nipple on the driver's side, 13 is just kinda hanging out disconnected, etc.) and I have a really annoying surging problem coming off idle that I know is burning my clutch. Can broken nipples be fixed?

get another and weld it on?

thats some shady stuff, broken nipples are no fun and to tell you the truth I wouldn't buy an IM that came like that.

JB weld it and tap an auxiliary vacuum port as in use one port but two leads out you know what I mean?

[wed3k]

you actually should have enuf vacuum ports so that you dont need that broken one.

Well I have wagalude to thank for that...no TPS and broken nipples up the wazoo...

I'm almost certain that the #21 line being tapped to some weird place on the IM is the cause of my surging problems...I might have to buy another H23 TB...

21 is the map sensor, hook that up to the nipple on the throttle body. everything else goes to nipples on the plenum.

the nipples themselves should just be pressed in... ive pulled them out before. try twisting it then yanking it with a pair of pliars. or just JB weld a new nipple on over it. or get it out and make a plastic nipple using a piece of the black plastic vacuum tube that runs across the back of the manifold to the air booster valve. or take the TB off, drill the hole, and screw one of those brass hose barbs in.

any other nipples not being used need to be capped off. 13 doesnt matter because thats just IAB and isnt conencted to the plenum.

perhaps they just bent from shipping?

That nipple was JB welded shut when I got the TB. There are no nipples on the TB. I tried to run 21 off a nipple on my intake, but that was no dice; I'm guessing the MAP reads off pressure from behind the throttle plate, because right now I have #21 hooked right above the IAB. All points lead to a drilling+new nipple or another TB...fun stuff...

I might run a vacuum T off either #20 or #24...I have to do the same for #13 and the line going to the IAB diaphragm
