Looks like a good number on GM Parts Direct... but holy poo... list is about $54 and net is about $33.
The only other vacuum fitting listed for 1979 is 1369465 which is a single port like Pauls.
473381 is also listed but it is a reducing bushing apparently... 5/8-18 to 3/8-18. Probably used with the 355786.

Checked year one, they go up to 75. I saw the low clearance port for Holly carbs and that would work but I would have to cut the tranny line that comes in from the top and have it come in from the side. Not a big deal but was looking for the right fitting.
