Bought a Polished plenum and just went to install it and as I was getting it on and I realized this little nipple piece was not on it.. I tried taking it off my old plenum but that was a no go.. Can I substitute something in there or.. Any suggestions would be great:}

its probably bonded in... that is for your brake booster, so you need to get that fixed somehow. maybe find the ID of the opening and get a piece of tubing and JB weld it in there?

 

If you can afford the downtime, I'd send the plenum back and ask for another one...

 

Bought it used from somebody local.. I had it in the garage for about 3months and I never realized it was missing it until the other day.. :{

 

I think you can use npt barbed hose fitting but you will likely need to tap it (probably 3/8" npt tap). Just find a fitting that is just a hair tight - either 1/4" or 3/8" from lowe's and get the tap to match (also at lowes). Make sure the hose end also fits snug before you drill out the plenum.

 

This sounds like a good idea. Tapping it would be a breeze. Make sure to use some type of sealant on the threads, like teflon tape...

 

This should be fun.. -_-
