PCV connector - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

jimmac28 · 07-13-2009

Well I went and did it, I now own a 92 ZR 1 #178,

but I already have a problem.

The rubber connector that connects the two PCV valves to a vacuum tube is too lose and I have a bad vacuum leak. I called around and found out that Chevy discontinued the piece awhile back. My man even called a place in Wisconsin but their out to.

If anyone has any suggestions I could sure use them, I have a makeshift setup right now but it looks bad. Thanks in advance. Jim

You don't need the whole package. Pieces you are talking about are "F" shape and "ㅛ" shaped pieces.

I am indicating URL for illustration purpose.

I am sure someone will chime in and suggest the best vendor to turn to. Or you can contact white racing products.

Ouch. Sorry, I have several extra NOS and I could have helped you out if I was on here earlier.

He is a ZR-1 & C4 Guru

Might want to get the whole hose assembly, chances are over the years with heat the hose itself is dry & cracked, leaking
Mine was as most are

Just want to say Congrats on your new toy!

And add another two cents for just buying the parts Phil is talking about. I did it for my 90 and the fit is great and you'll see that there will be no more vacuum leaks from that part of the PCV system....for a long while!
