Hello all. Just bought a 1988 4wd pick-up. Runs amazing. My question is this:

What part sits directly to the left of the cold start injector? It has 3 nipples that connect to vacuum hoses. I just replaced my cold start sensor, and I accidentally broke a nipple off of that part, and I am having an air leak.

I could not find a part number, or a name for it. Searched everywhere on line, and the Haynes book doesn't list the part. I believe the nipple that broke off goes to my AS hose.

I know these engines run great, however they also have a pretty complex vacuum system. What part do I need to replace?

Thanks in advance,
Ted

 

this part circled.

 

Its basically just a splitter for the vacuum. Since there is only one port in the intake, this splitter allows for 3 vacuum lines to rin off it, without hving 3 different holes drilled in the intake.

It needs to be replaced, since you still need full vacuum to each line.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. However I am still not able to find the part, or part number to replace. You would thing google would be our friend. I tried searching "intake vacuum splitter, vacuum splitter, intake splitter", and nothing.

 

you should post in "items wanted" or PM someone who is parting out a motor, or go to the local salvage yard.
