What can I replace this with? (MOP oil injector -vacuum connector)

Im replacing fuel and vac hoses and broke this part below. Its a adapter from a single vacuum to 4 that goto the oil inectors. Can I just replace it with 3 - vacuum T's or is there anything special about it? It doest seem to be a check valve.

Also 1 of my injector clips is pretty busted up and the spring clip has nothing left to hold onto. It seems pretty secure after tightening the rail but should I look into replacing them?

Every time I get 1 thing done I see another thing that looks like it needs replaced. I miss driving her so if I dont need to replace it,Id rather keep going. Otherwise another delay....
thx--Erik

none of the places near me have anything close to this...

Main distribution connector for vacuum to the dynamic chamber.

I have never checked to see if it was a vacuum delay valve or not. You could cust open up the broken end slightly with a drill bit and epozy in a straight vacuum nipple for it.

Replace the injector clips now before they cause problems and they will. :-)
I got mine at Napa when I did them. They did not have a listing but I figured it out for them.
I can look for a part number for the clips if you decide to replace them.

Thats the vacuum spider for the oil injector check valves,and they always break.
Its not a valve,just a connector that splits one big hose into four.On the TII,there is very little room under the manifold for anything but the stock stuff,so I just bought a new one from Mazdatrix.On the N/A cars,theres a lot more room since the intake curves differently.Im sure you could make something up with some tees,splitters or other cheap items.Heres the Mazdatrix page/prices........

Doc- I'll start looking around for the injector clips but if you can find a part # that would make my day.

Wow 41$ for the vacuum spider! I think Im gonna rig something up for that one. My old one is so brittle I dont think its worth repairing only to break putting it all back together.

thanks guys!

Part # for the injector plug with wires is 2-17427 Thru Napa. Brand is Echlin.

You may be tempted to solder your new wiring, don't. Solder is great on all electrical except when going to things that have resistance values. Just use the standard butt connectors and heat shrink over the top.

You can also use part #27427 from Borg Warner (BWD). I found them at O'reilly auto for $4.69 each and they had them in the local warehouse. Mine will be here at 2:30 today. I crossed the Napa number provided by RX-7 Doctor on BWD's website since it is the brand O'reilly carries and they are 5 minutes away.
