Need a QUICK AND GOOD SOLUTION, man I messed up.
Alright so I was just tweaking my timing and fuel pressure today, and I just forgot to attach the vac line back into the afpr and that little vac nozzle that threads in to the afpr is now gone. No where in the engine bay.
And I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Take your AFPR off, head to a parts store and figure out the size and thread pitch, then get a vacuum connector with same diameter and thread pitch. The most complicated part will be taking the AFPR off and on.

If I have to take it off, i'll just modify my stock one to be adjustable..
But thanks for the idea, that's quite a small thread size, think they make them vac connectors that small?

I'm sure they do. The other option would be to buy (or 'borrow') a few different bolt sizes that look right and test them all to figure out the size. If they don't make sell vac fittings that size, you could always find the bolt that fits and on a lathe, mill, or drill press, punch a 1/16" or 1/32" bit through it until you can order the vac nozzle.

Ya, I could not find any vac fittings at all! I looked everywhere in town, where would you find anything like that?
But a buddy has a used TPIS Afpr he's giving to me so i'll use the fitting off of that, but im gonna put a dab of rtv on it, and I guess i'll have a spare afpr and diaphram now. Score!
