Hi zk6216. That little vacuum tree is made from an inferior alloy, and is also a constant source for vacuum leaks. Unless you are restoring to absolute original state, you should replace it with a single, high quality nipple (for power brake vacuum only) , fastened with loctite or similar locking fluid in the threads. If you have other vacuum lines on the tree, it is better to tee them off carburetor vacuum lines, taking vacuum from the single manifold branch, will give a somewhat erratic vacuum signal. Olaf. |

Junkyard would be my first selection...the 73-76 slants got one with a single tap for the vacc. amplifier/EGR....the later 77+ seem to have multiple taps for brakes/amplifier/EGR/Thermactor...There are other versions to be found on late small block manifolds as well.I've never had the problem that Olaf seems to indicate, stock or transplanting a super six with the multi-tap version. Cinch into place, use sealant if dubious of the seal (light RTV on threads=OK)... -D.Idiot |
