Name of the plastic "T" piece on the inlet manaifold

[bang_chong]

Hey guys just was wondering if you could help me out with the name of the part i need? Its the plastic T piece that is used as a vacuum line for the brake booster etc etc. If you can help it would be very appreciative, just helps me order the piece easier

[Nackerz]

pretty sure its just called a t piece mate

[Nackerz]

just take the part to bursons or repco whatever you have there and they will know what to give you

[bang_chong]

yeh thats what i was thinking. kinda hard though to find time to do it thats just why I thought it would be easier to find out the name so that i could order it through work

I've heard it called a Vacuum Tree as well.

^^^^ Vacuum tree is what I've known them as

vacuum tree more refers to the TVS in the front of the manifold on V8's (no idea where they are on 6's soz) cos there is 4 ports coming off it, looks more like a tree, the brake booster 't' piece only has two. one large for brakes and one small for trans vac. and looks like a T

p.s. dont buy the plastic crap ones, make sure you get a nice brass one. much easier to seal and you wont snap it when you tighten it up.

Agreed about the brass jobies.

Disagree about the brake booster tee.

On my six, the brake booster line comes off a 5 way tree. One is blanked off from the factory and one has been blanked off by some wannabe Mechanical Engineer Was the Vacuum Sensor for the long gone EST.

That leaves the brake booster, heater/air control & vacuum gauge.

Trans vac, for Auto, has it's own feed from the base of the inlet manifold.

six's are retarded

six's are retarded...

.... unless you advance the timing!

No probs ari.

What I know about 8's could be written on the back of an acid tab.

soz, its the best comeback i could come up with

I have vk 6 which is my daily (damn P plate laws) and a 308 as well so it makes it heaps easy to compare what everybody is taking about to what i have and help people out in that respect.
