1/2" Manifold vacuum port

Well I've got another stupid little problem holding me back. Im looking for a new threaded fitting to go into the vacuum source on the back of the intake manifold beyween the carburetor and the distibutor. The one I have now is bent to hell, but none of the part stores around me carry any kind of replacement. The configuration of the ports doesn't have to be the same as mine, but I just need one with multiple ports. What do you guys use?



Just to clarify, I am not talking about that brake booster line.

I broke one before but napa had it. You may have to get with rock auto or another online site and order one. I thought they were common. It's just a ported vacuum switch.

It's not a ported vacuum switch. Just a vacuum tree. Here's an outrageous one on ebay.
If you go junkyardin' look on Ford trucks. More common on them.

Pulled one from a 350 pontiac. Actually looks cooler than the original c10 one.
$1 and i picked a couple little things up with it. Always enjoy visiting the local junk yard.
