Default Argh! Help...broke something....

I was doing a TB bypass today and I just broke one of my vacuum lines (right side of the car) that runs from back by the plenum up past the throttle body.

If i use some electrical tape to tape it back together will it be ok until I can get a replacement.

Also, is this something I'm gonna have to order from GM or will an auto parts store carry it?

:cuss :cuss :cuss :cuss :cuss

Is it one of those black plastic lines, real brittle, about 4mm in diameter???

If so, find an '89 Chevy Caprice station wagon and steal the two foot long piece running across the front of the intake manifold...

Someone here said the parts stores carry rolls of this stuff...

The tape fix should be OK. I've run mine for weeks with vacuum lines disconnected... :crazy:
