Well first, my enigine is an eariler 4 port 13b streetported. The Intake is a weber 45DCOE with a one piece manifold.

While I was replacing the OMP lines, one of the lines didn't want to come off the manifold so i tried with a pair of pliers and the nipple snaped. (see pics below)

Is there a way fix this?

 

You could try a threaded pressure tap (fuel nipple) from a model airplane/RC car. I used one to fix the purge valve on my car when the small nipple broke off.

 

Drill + new nipple + JB Weld.

 

*sigh*
I'm guessing I have to get new intake gaskets to put the manifold back on after removing it, correct?

 

What kind of gasket is it? if its a fiber gasket you should be fine I don't think they even made a metallic ply one. I've re-used mine before without incident, just make sure its dried out and clean.

 

I never buy the fiber intake gaskets. Buy a roll of gasket material and cut your own.

 

+1 on cutting your own, it's also cheaper and you can choose the material you want. it does take longer tho.

 

1/8th NPT is the thread size you're looking for.

 

thanks for the info guys

where would i get the gasket material? and what material is best for the intake?

 

probably any auto parts store will carry gasket material. i think i got my last roll at autozone. have used it for intake, water pump, and t-stat. the dark gray sheet is what i use.
