    Throttle body toast?

    I managed to break the fitting off the throttle body where you connect the brake booster hose. Was chasing a vac leak, and the fitting literally crumbled in my hand. It doesn't seem like the fitting comes out of the throttle body. Is the fitting replaceable, if so anyone have a P/N or idea where i can get something that will work? Or do I need a whole new TB?

    This is the top center port on the picture below.

    The port would be the opening in the throttle body which we cant see in your pic. If that broke, yes its toast. However, if its the fitting then you should find one at a jy or from a sympathetic forum member...or from the dealer.

      Its the fitting. Not my pic, just what I could find asap. Below is a better image. The fitting I guess is what broke, but It doesnt seem to come out, as if its welded into the TB.
