HELP! Broken manifold.

Trying to find the source of my vac leak, I found that part of my UIM was cleanly broken off. This had to have happened when putting it back together, b/c it wasn't broken before.

is this still use-able? at least for a little while? should I bother trying to mend it back together, and if so, with what? I have to move out of my place on the 29th and I'm runnin' out of time. I need my car to run!

despite the cracked bit, the car DOES run, it just doesn't hold an idle well. I haven't tried the new injector o-rings yet -- the old ones are really old.

I guess I'll go ahead and try it anyway. sigh.

if you can't find one from a wrecking yard you can take your manifold to a local machine shop/welder and have them weld it up and resurface it.
