Broke breather hose from intake manifold at manifold

[braves6117]

I'm changing the spark plug wires on the disco and accidently snapped the breather hose at the manifold. Any quick ideas from veterans for the fix?

Thanks for your help.and insight. Going back to finish the spark plug wire job

That part un-threads from the intake manifold. You should be able to get the broken part out, and I've seen similar threaded nipples sold at most Auto Part stores.

That fitting has an orifice in it. It is not just a threaded nipple.

Here is the part from AB:

The used parts guys may have one, too.

Mine didn't and I replaced it with a 50 cent nipple dozens of times.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I'll try the local route tomorrow before resorting to the AB part. Thanks again

I found a brass one from ABC Auto that threaded perfectly. Cost about 1/3 of the plastic one and I've never had any issues.

You don't even need to go to an auto parts store. Lowe's, Home Depot and other hardware stores have them in the plumbing department. And like leshassell said, the brass version is around five bucks. I did, however, take the precaution of wrapping the threads in teflon plumbers tape before installing it, to try to preclude it seizing should I ever need to remove it.
