[Mysterio]

Where are you guys purchasing your vacuum blocks from?

Scroll through the thread and you can get the McMaster Car number.

Excellent thanks. I saw the one on TU but it doesn't have enough spots for the ammount of vacuum lines I have. I'll check the other ones. Thanks

I found the part number for mcmaster but I'm not really sure which one of the vacuum blocks i'll need for the regular vacuum lines? Can anyone give me some input? I'm not sure of the sizes of everything off hand.

Which one is it though? I looked up the part number for the vacuum block on mcmaster but there's tons of them to choose from. I'm not sure which ones are which.

What's the part number for the Grainger vacuum block? I've looked through their site and can't find it.

Wow you people are that lazy. Part #5085K51 is for the nickel plated manifolds.

I found the part number, but when you bring it up there's a few difference sizes and I wasn't sure exactly what I needed but I figured it out. Thanks anyways though.

[EvilcowRoland]

No, 5085K51 is for McMaster. I'm trying to find a vacuum block number for Grainger because I have a Grainger store 10 minutes up the road and I wanted to walk in and go I need part number whatever. I spent 2 hours looking through just about every part on their site and can't find it. So was the post that suggested that Grainger sold vacuum manifolds mistaken?

[EvilcowRoland]

Nevermind. Grainger doesn't sell them.

Here is one, its got 3 ports plus one on the bottom. I used a T on the bottom to plug into the intake manifold and used the other ports. Home depot and lowes carry them next to the air compressors.

Yeah, I saw those. I thought about it, but I think I'll just get the McMaster one instead. I'm ordering some other bits from them anyways and the manifold design will look much cleaner. Thanks though.

I have question. I got my vac block & small hex head plugs for the vacuum block from mcmaster. Now, where did you guys get the 1/8'' thread plugs that go into the vacuum block and have the nipple on the end for the vacuum line to go onto? I Checked at lowes and all they had was 1/4'', not small enough for my 1/8'' holes for the vacuum block. Would home depot maybe have them?? Or any other websites anyone can recommend?
