Vacuum hose Junction?

[gill finn]

Hello, okay, I'm in the process of replacing vacuum hoses of which there are many. I'm also replacing the nylon nipples and junctions where they're needed. On the engine in front of the carburetor and it looks like it's just above the thermostat housing, there's another one of these junctions which I'm holding in the left hand photo. The hose enters that junction where it just pulled away and I don't know how to go about re-attaching a new one. I don't even know what to call this thing, I'm waiting on a shop manual. I'm wondering if I can just purchase a new one and this hose comes attached to it? I don't know. Anyway, thanks again for any help! Engine 350 cu. 1984 chevy C20

About the only thing you can do is find a used piece or just replace it with separate bulk vacuum hoses. As far as I know hose assemblies weren't commonly available new. Those have always been a problem, age, heat and oil saturation ruins them.

They may make replacements. Not sure what that molded rubber is called but you can document where they go and use individual hoses to where they go to get the job done.
