Wow. took me 3 hours to remove manifold and I was in no rush.

It went back on in like 15 min because I knew where things went. I used a small brass double barbed nipple from the hardware store. I drilled a fresh hole in the remaining hose in the bottom of the manifold and hammered the nipple into the hole. It took some effort to get the nipple in so it should be air tight. It went in so snug that I didn't want to pull it out to put some sealant on the outside of the nipple. Had I known it was going to work so well I would have put the sealant on. I used a healthy fuel line 3/16 as vac tube for this connection. I should never have to worry about it again



One last hose of the back of the manifold goes where???? Does it connect to a skinny white plastic tube originating behind the fire wall?
