Default What is this Vacuum Connector?

Just got a note from my mechanic saying my Corvette has a vacuum leak. I know, who's ever heard of a ZR1 with a vacuum leak??

Anyhow, he sent me the following pics. Anyone know what this is? Where can I buy a replacement? Any others like it that should be replaced at the same time?

Thanks!

Check with Jerry?s. I bought one from him some years ago. I believe he had them made new to match the original.

I would recommend putting 3 or 4 dozen in your spare parts stash, depending on how long you plan to own your 1990 ZR-1.

Just kidding of course! One should last you for the next 20~30 years I would imagine.

Ok. I'll take 3 dozen please. I'll change them monthly.

My thought was more around if it was used elsewhere in the engine too.

Anything else like this I should order too?

Maybe I should let Jerry decide my order for me?

I am of Irish descent and inherited a strong sense of pranking & BS(not to be confused with outright lying). Probably not a good idea to leave doors open for me.
