Busted this (blue tape) line removing the plenum. What are my options? (Besides the obvious)

I would recouple it with a short section of tight fitting vacuum hose. I might also take a trip to the junkyard as most GM cars of this era have tons of that hard line and various rubber connections you might find useful for a repair or modification.

Autozone or Advance have a vacuum couplings. Tack it in with 3M adhesive--black.

Thanks for the suggestions guys I will take a look, but in this case couplers won't work. The line was broken in two places both were line bends.
I think I have three options. Replace lines, fabricate new, or somehow eliminate the whole thing? |

As for eliminating the secondaries, far be it from me to discourage you from that. After "plenum diving" to fix different vacuum problems, I eliminated them when I did my top end P&P and port matching. Nothing but GOOD came from pulling them, but it will require a chip calibration and a simple hard wire precaution on the POWER switch (on 1990 Zs only). |

What is involved in calibrating the chip? I believe that the last owner installed some sort of performance chip. My car is a 1991.
