Default Where can I buy this vacuum fitting?

Searched and searched, so apologies if there is a thread somewhere with the answer.

I have a stock 1998 LS1 in my 1969 C10 and have just started installing the harness.

The vacuum port at the back of the manifold broke during the transplant and i want to replace it rather than use a freeze plug and tap a new hole.

Where can I buy one?

Thanks in advance!

If you're talking about the hole in the protruding vacuum stem, it's for the MAP sensor. There's nothing broken or that needs to be plugged. That clip molded into the plastic next to the hole is the MAP sensor retaining clip & will hold the sensor in place once installed.

Default Better pic of vacuum fitting I broke

The MAP sensor is fine but this fitting is not.

98 LS1...

What is this fitting called and where can I buy it new?

Thanks.

OK, it's clear now. Original pick did not show a damaged part. Have not seen this part sold separately from the manifold. If it were me, I'd re-install it using a marine epoxy like "Splash Zone." Don't try it w/ JB weld.
