[SOLD] Vacuum nipple

[68original]

Anybody have one of these vacuum nipple fittings? Manual brake car so looking for this special nipple to hook up performance indicator gauge.

PM me if you have one.

I do have one. Since this thing is so easily broken ( especially on the slant 6 manifold ), It will be in your best interest to go to Lowes and buy similar made of brass. That will be smaller npt to 1/8 tubing so you will also need a bushing.

have you tried looking at a hardware or home improvement store in the fittings area. some of them carry brass fittings with nipples...

You need something like this, but with a smaller barb diameter:

I think he wants OEM

Or try this one with an adapter to get it to the proper pipe thread. this has a 1/8" nipple.

But if he can't find one, at least these will get him working...

You are correct Halifaxhops, I want OEM if possible.
Numbers matching car and all.
Appreciate the links for alternatives, that will be my second resort.

Have you tried calling Mancini?

I tried looking them up on their site but could not find them. I think I have bought some from them before...

Have not checked Mancini.

Did a quick Google search last night for Mopar Vacuum Nipple; not much comes up other than the normal power brake variety, and of course all the various aftermarket stuff.

 

[krazykuda]

They were made in all different configurations, depending on what options the car had...

I've seen some with 4 or 5 nipples in one fitting...

Went the easier route and installed brass fittings. Thanks all!
