Vacuum T part number

Anyone know where I can get a replacement for this vacuum T. Would a ordinary T fitting work in it's place. It broke when I tried to remove a vacuum line. Very brittle.

Thanks in advance

AutoZone carries them in AC Delco I wouldn't recommend the Doorman its junk.

thanks for that. I had just found the dorman on Amazon and ordered it before I saw your message. I'll see if I can cancel it.

Re: Vacuum T part number

It's actually a check valve. Closes off manifold and opens up the line to the vacuum reservoir when you step hard on the throttle.

This is exactly why I gave the AC Delco part number, the Dorman is junk. Ask me how I know.

I have used the Dorman one many times without any issues. I bet the AC Delco one comes down the same assembly line in China.

I'm glad the Dorman has worked for you!!!!
However OP just read the reviews on that particular part and it would suggest why i would not recommend. Well that and I bought one at my local store put it on and it would not do its job. Had them order the AC Delco for like $3.89(was less $ than the Dorman just had to wait overnight) and worked like intended. And no they dont come down the same line and look totally different, both still probably made in China though
