Is there a source for the plastic T's and Tree for the underhood vacuum lines? I'm trying to help my buddy with his '70 442/4spd.

 

Most parts stores in my area have plastic Ts in various sizes in the "HELP" section of parts. I was looking for brass ones and found lots of plastic, but no metal.

 

He already looked locally, but no luck.

 

I have a very nice vacuum tree from a 72 for sale if it's the same as 70. You can contact me @ pchopesq@aol.com

Mike & Marxjunk, I don't have manuals for those years, so I am not sure what is correct. Cruzn, he checked the local Advance Auto here, no luck. I'll look at the Amazon link. I believe that the tree was the one that he needed the most, as his is broken.

 

I believe there's only one plastic vacuum "T" used on that motor/trans combo and that's only if it's a car with the W25 OAI setup....the vacuum T that the flapper door vacuum motor hose goes to.

I have one here in black plastic that has a smaller outlet on the middle port of the "T"...makes it easier to plug in the smaller ID/OD vacuum motor hose.

Can't remember where I got the "T"...maybe a local auto parts store or maybe one of the larger auto parts chain stores. I'll try to figure out if it was one of the larger chains that may have a location in your area. If not, I probably have a spare one.

Pics below....the "T" and an example of the vacuum tree style you will need (not a spare or for sale)

 

Yes, the thermostatic vacuum switch is what is needed the most (the tree).

 

He just acquired this car from his nephew, and most of the vacuum lines and connections were messed up, many not hooked up.
