Hi:

That is a tough one. Since there won't be anything available from a dealer, you will need to find something aftermarket. In most parts stores, there is a "Help" section where aftermarket manufacturers provide older and more generalized replacement parts. That will most likely be your best bet.

Is it possible for you to upload a pic of the part you need? I may be able to give you some ideas for a repair.

Let me know.

Joe

The vacuum hose with an arrow pointing to it that says black on the front of the carburetor. If I can't find one I will try a four way connector to hook all the vacuum hoses.

What I would suggest is what you are already thinking. You are going to need to modify and create a new way of doing it.

If I'm looking at the correct connector, I see three connections. You should be able to get a three way connector and make it work.
