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.

 

damn dude, that happened to me the other day on my new rebuild, got the car al together, fired it up and it sounded like a screaming cat. Luckily I had an extra one from the engine I blew up....
