Default DIY TB Bypass - Supplier link

Hope this is helpful to someone.

I found this link to a supplier of hydraulic/air equipment.
http://www.fittingsandadapters.com/union.html

The required part is a "double barb coupler". $1 here compared to $10 in Corvette catalogs.

I'm just not sure what size to tell everyone to get as mine is all back together.
If someone could post the correct size, that would be cool.

TTT good link. :thumbs: Your local industirial supply shop should have em too.

I think you need a 5/8s line, but don't take my word on it.

I bought my parts at NAPA for around $3 tops.

Just remember that there are two different bypass kits. lt1's use a barb with two different sizes. Look at the hoses going to your tb to see if they are same sizes or two different sizes.
