Throttle body multi-line vacuum fitting replacement needed

[88Intl]

Where to obtain a replacement multi-line rubber fitting for a 2.8 MPFI throttle body? Last I checked neither the dealer or auto parts stores had these. I would assume the ones in the junkyards to be hardened and leaky too, that will be my last choice.

 

 

BTW I know someone who may be selling a 1993 3.1 GP sedan that needs a trans and other work. If I were to take on this project, easier to pull motor/tranaxle from above, or trans only from below?

Is your fitting cracked or something? As far as I know, you cant buy those new anymore. You're bette off getting one from a junkyard that looks in good shape, or maybe a few incase one of those breaks.

yeah the ones for '90+ 3.1's are still available (whole vacuum harness, actually) but the 2.8 & pre '90 3.1's have the 4-line harness, not around anymore. But they don't normally fall apart that often, so just grab another one. Worst case scenario, reinstall one with some RTV.

I doubt a boneyard will even have a price listed for that. They would probably ask for a $1 donation.

I got a junkyard one for the five finger discount, came with a hood and grille! OH, and I snagged all those little relay boxes. There gonna crush it anyway right?

If you can't find one then you might want to tigten them down just like I did http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22351

 

If the vacuum hose have been cracked then try to connect them together using a clear rubber tubing. I got the clear tube from fish aquarium store to expand the length of the air bubbles in the aquarium.
