Dont know where to get the 3 way T, but i know that is how mine is, I actually busted an end off one of the big sides, but was still able to get enough clamp on it to hold. I would think it is a dealer item only. I searched through pet to no avail for that stupid thing.

Alternative T (brass)
Hosrom,
Just another teaser: Is this what you need?
I too had to fix mine with JB-Weld and being in the process of doing the vacuum manifolds I thought this was a relatively straightforward upgrade to do.
So here is my "prototype" and think that $12 + S&H would cover my efforts.
If you are interested I'll include that with the vacuum manifold, BUT I still need you address.

PS I can see "the writing on the wall" and will make a small batch of those too.

Laust: Crap, that looks great
WOuld i need that part if im updating the vacuum hoses (brake booster) and since i would be getting your 5 port vacuum manifold, couldn't i connect the blue/black check-valve to one of the ports?

Yes you are 98% right, you should get almost the same result by doing that, although the venturi (if you still have it) under certain circumstances increases the vacuum.
Functionally I don't think you’ll be able to detect a difference.

And technically, the blue/black check-valve is connected to a X at the FPR and workds fine since taht 'nipple' for the hose connection broke off......
I guess im passing up a good oppertunity here
BTW: I sent you a PM with my full shipping adress hope things go well (i sure they would )
But damn, that's good quality work you have there Laust
