Ok, so you know how the boost line slides into a rubber boot, and then you slide that boot thingy onto the vacuum manifold? That boot broke, so I have no vac/boost readings and I have a vacuum leak.

I've been looking online to see if autometer or someone sells a replacement kit but I can't find shit. I'm getting kind of worried. I don't want to spend 40$ on a new gauge for the little boot thingy.

Anyone have some ideas?


Oh, by the way. The car doesn't smoke anymore.

 

i'm very excited to hear that the car doesn't smoke anymore.. & i want details on that.. but heres what i did with my gauge.


take the plastic hose that comes off the gauge & run it about 3in. into a vacume line that fits it somewhat snug. then put about 2-3 zip ties on it to secure it from leaking. I can take a pic of this arrangement if needed, but u won't get it till late tonight, i'm at work right now.

lemme know if u understand or need the pic

 

It actually slipped into the nylon fitting on my vacuum manifold pretty snug, then i just electrical taped it in there. Sound's shitty, but it isn't gonna come out.

Edit electrical tape, zip ties, same shit.

 

haha, as long as it works, it's sealed & it's not gonna come undone, then the hell with it.
