Thank you sir. That is exactly the part I was talking about. The top and bottom stems were broken off. As of right now,I have epoxy drying for the fix. If I'm not happy with the fix,and I understand you correctly,I could remove and place a plug in the manifold and leave the top two hoses open and plug the bottom hose?
Thanks again
Hello Folks...New guy here
I recently purchased a 1985 720 king cab with a 2.4z and a blown head gasket. Thanks to all the tips on here,the repair has gone smooth. This is my first foray into these small trucks so my experience is limited.
While doing the said repairs I broke a part on the intake manifold. I have since found out,this part is called a ported vacuum switch and is threaded into the intake manifold just before #1 cylinder and has 3 vacuum lines attached. I have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement and am hoping epoxy will hold.
My question is. What does this critter do and how important is it? Can it be plugged and not have any adverse effect on engine function?
Thank You in advance for any direction you can give me.
