WTB Intake vacume port for a 273

[68 CUDA FORMULA S]

I am looking for the vacume port that screws into the intake manifold for the performance indicator gauge in my 66 CUDA. Please P.M. if you have one.
Thanks
Bob

Unless you are doing a 100-point resto and need the original steel one, you can buy this item, made of brass, at a well-stocked hardware store. Pretty sure the thread size is 3/8" NPT. Hose barb size depends on what size hose your gauge needs; here's for 1/4" hose (you can use a 1/4" to 1/8" step-down adaptor after a few inches of 1/4" hose). Or here is a fancier one with a smaller barb on it.

Or you might get lucky and find a dealer willing to scare up a 4458 186 for you.

Thanks for the info Dan. I will check with barracudakid first and if that does not work out then I will check out my local hardware store.
Thanks again

By the way, that's nice paintwork on that intake!

Thanks Dan, I just finished the motor on Saturday and dropped it in on Monday. I will be up dating my bringing the 66 back to life thread real soon, I have some nice pictures to share.
