While changing the vacuum line

While changing the vacuum lines on my '85 308, the plastic nipple broke off of the cut-off valve ( that round plastic thingy located above the clutch housing w 2 large air hoses and a vacuum line attaced to it). Does anyone know what these things cost and/or if there is a non-Ferrari equivalent part? Thanks in advance.

If the "Thingy" you are talking about is just the three way T, I found one at the local Napa store for a couple of dollars.

No, this is an actual valve, with an internal, movable part. Thanks anyway.

The vacuum line runs to the e

The vacuum line runs to the electro valve ( mounted under the coolant expansion tank), one hose runs to the air cleaner box and the other hose is a short 90 degee-bent hose which connects to a T-fitting just below the valve itself. In the schematic of the air injection system on p 73 of my owners manual, it's labelled "A".

Hi Bill,

You might trying epoxying the nipple back on, but if that doesn't work see if this site can help you get a replacement:

Well, Sorry Bill....I did a se

Well, Sorry Bill....I did a search on the site above and all I get is "parts not availible now". Looks like a huge nice site with nothing avalible.

I know that the big valve on the Bell Housing is Ford and the EGR Valves are Foriegn Generic. I would suspect a source like NAPA or PartsAmerica.com would have replacements....you will need a picture catalouge to make the correct cross reference though.
