I have a 1957 Olds 98 with J2 set up. I need the original brass vacuum T . I can't locate one anywhere. Any ideas?? Thanks for the help.

I've had a 57 but never a J2 setup. Is this a Oldsmobile J2 only part? Do you have a picture? Sorry I'm stuck with out more Information..... Tedd

Hi,
Here's the part I have, which is for a single carb set up. I need the same part but one with two vacuum line holes onside rather than one on the side and one in back, at 90 degrees. There is no room at use this one with the back hole. must be on the side.

I can't find it in the Oldsmobile parts book. There is a brass Tee for the fuel line, but the drawing captioned "1958 J-2 carburetor throttle linkage & vacuum hook up" shows the vacuum connections being made with hose from the pump to the vacuum switch and the vacuum unit. Perhaps 1957 was different, but I can't find it in the listing. ??????

Could it be machined, taped and threaded in a shop? It doesn't look very complicated. The original hole could be plugged if it was in the wrong side. Beings it's vacuum related it doesn't need to hold liquid under pressure.. Just a thought from afar of the problem.... Tedd

I just went and looked at my 57 J2. I assume this is what you are looking for.

Those tees haven't been made for years - unique to a few models. I have one you can have for $25 plus shipping from NC.

I guess since he posted this over a year ago, that he either found one or won't be returning. I found a spare one in my parts box also.

A two barrel car has that same 'tee'. Finally found a part number...564698. No picture or description, just a part number.
