What to do, my intake manifold doesn't come with a connection for the brake booster

What can I do guys, I didn't realise the intake manifold didn't have one untill I put the engine in the car.

Old one

Kriss - per your IM, I would simply tap the bottom of the flat area there (so you don't see it as much) 1/2 NPT (tapered thread you might have BSPT or whatever there), and use a tapered to hose barb fitting and be done with it. Use teflon paste thread sealer and good as new.

Swap 'em. If you tap it, you'll have glick in the intake so you'll need to pull it regardless.

Or, are you telling me you don't have the old one???

PS: Who needs power brakes anyways?

[BigKriss]

I have two, I will swap it. thanks guys. I just didn't want more work but I realise I have to do it.

Not too big of deal really...the bolts under the manifold are a bit of a PITA but pretty manageable outside of that. Could be worse....

[BigKriss]

Yeah, the underside bolts were okay. It took me 4 hours to remove the intake manifold, swap over the fuel rail and injectors and bolt up the new manifold.
