Need Help with Vacuum Control Installation

[Quinthirty]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace my vacuum control as the rubber hoses are old and brittle. When I was assembling the check valve control and installing the hoses, I noticed that the check control valve was not the same as the original. I checked the part number on Real OEM, and it was correct.

Problem: there is a small tube at the bottom of check control valve that wasn't there in the original. Now I don't know what to do as how to plug it as I blew thru it and there's air going out of the other end.

Would appreciate some help. Thanks R3V.

(Sorry mods, I think I should have moved this to M20, but don't know how...pls feel free to move it. Thanks.)

Can't speak to whether or not that's the proper check control unit, but plugging that inlet/outlet is a simple as getting a small section of proper id vacuum hose and attaching via hose clamp; plug other end with proper diameter screw & hose clamp.

Or a small rubber plug to go over top of it. Basically just cover it.

Would you recommend gasket sealer?

Sealant or silicone may come loose and get sucked into the system at some point. As mentioned above, some sort cap that you can secure would be best.

Listen up OP, this is how you plug small holes like that. Get a lighter and start burning the end till it melts a good ways back. Then take some pliers and smoosh the end. Works like a charm.

The best cap I found was a screw that fit quite snugly into the hole. I just cut a new portion of that had the gasket sealant so now its clean of any residue. Anyway, I also tried F34R's recommendation but the rubber hose just burnt off and didn't seal even with hard crimping from plier pressure.
