96 Upper Plenum Question


Okay, So i have called around and went in to a few places. No one seems to have what i am looking for. I did not get the what looks to be brass vacuum fittings for my professional products upper plenum. I will link a picture that shows what i am talking about.. their pretty easy to spot in the picture, right on top of the tb gasket.

My question is.. do they sell these in a kit or what would i call these? Vacuum bolts? Everyone wants to have my stock plenum to compare too, but my fittings are too small and are not designed for this plenum. Thanks for any help on what you call these or even a link to buy which adapters i need. Thanks guy..

If you can't find them at the parts store look around the pneumatic tool section of the hardware store. You should be able to find some there.

Lol, yeah no kidding. I went to auto zone and o'rileys and they had nothing. They kept trying to look them up in the computer. I said, unless y'all sell professional products upper plenums i highly doubt they will be in the system. So first thing in the morning, ill head to my local plumbing store and if they don't have it.. ill head to the city for home depot. Thanks guys.. i don't know what happened to my hardware that was supposed to come with the kit.. but it didn't. I don't think I'll be buying used anymore..

i love used...granted my manifold was never installed but it wasnt new..to me alot of stuff new is just wayyy over priced..250$ for a throttlebody, are they nuts? ille let some other sucker buy it 1st because its shiny..then ille take it off his hand for 75 bucks becuase it has a scratch or two and could use a cleaning..as long as it works as well if not better than the day it came from the factory, ille buy it..sometimes i get bored and go "junk yard hunting" and i go and pop the hoods of every 4.6 and check em out and look for performance parts or good lowmile factory parts that i can save for if mine break..ive found 24lb injectors next to new, cai's, i found a pp plenum and Tbody last year thats i wish id have kept, its where i got my current 5.4 Tbody and new style plenum and craigslist i love also..you just gotta find the deal befor someone else does, im not much into ebay but maby ille start..but when i get a deal, i always pass it on..

I hear ya man.. i guess used is okay.. I guess this is my first burn from eBay.. I'll let it go this time because it is not that big of a deal.. 10 bucks can fix my situation.. I dunno.. I gotta leave tomorrow, so i did not go out today to get my parts.. figure i will wait till i get a throttle body next time and do it all at one..
