Get a "tee" fitting that has a 5/8" nipple and a 1/4" nipple and screws into the manifold. That's what the factory did.

Thats what i was thinking but using the TEE is sharing the vacuum ...my question is
sharing the vacuum will cause no loss of the braking power or transmission malcfunction ?
Thanks
