    I have been attempting to locate a rubber t fitting for the vacuum line. I need one to replace the cracked one on the passenger side just under the S/C snout and another to run a boost gauge (behind the blower near the map sensor.)

    Does anyone know where i can find this rubber t fitting? Or better yet if i can get them from GM is there a GM part number?

    I have found plastic ones in the Autoparts stores but they were either too big or too small. The closest one fit the hose but the lip, like 1/8 of an inch down on the hose, did not fit thus making the fitting too small.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Buy the entire new set from GM. Only thing I recommend as your not halfassing it with autozone special t-fittings. IIRC they are about $25 or so.

    W-body store also sells the fitting and tube in a kit. They offer it in a few colors.

    Thanks, believe it or not i have never been on that site before. Unfortunately i don't think they sell these t-fittings any more on there, or at least i couldn't find them.

    Good thing you haven't been on WBS. Most of the time you get what you don't order...but that is just my personal experience.

    Somtimes WBS is really good to deal with and other times they SUCK! It is all the luck of the draw. The T fittings only come in the vaccum line set from WBS.

    I was able to buy it in a kit offered by gm. Two t fittings, one L and three vacuum lines. It was $20.

    if you have a part number........go to gmpartsdirect.com........they always have better pricing on GM parts, but if you need it fast or if it isn't more than a forty dollar part from GM, then get it at your local dealer. partsdirect will charge I think a minimum of $10 or so for shipping on your first part, so just be aware.

    Yeah, that's my problem, I don't have the part number, and there's only one place in my city that even offers Pontiac parts. :/

    I was sent a schematic with a number on it but its only 3 digits and as far as i know not an official GM parts #.

    The number on the schematic is 558 if that is any help.
