If you can not find the boot, make sure it did not fall into any of the rear intake ports of the heads!!!!

Cannot buy the 90 degree boot from GM. comes with a new vacum line. You may want to check a auto parts store and see if they have vacum connectors that will fit that line.

Check with your local auto parts store. I've seen small nylon vacuum line repair kits offered in the Motormite ("HELP") line. Seems like it was on a purple colored blister-pak card. It includes a small amount of black nylon line and one or two rubber splices. In the same area, I think I saw some of the rubber spices available seperately. Some may be straight and some may be 90 degree type.
BTW, it would be a good idea to extend this line about 3 or 4 inches anyway. If/when I ever have my manifold off again, I'm going to do this. That way you can re-attach the vacuum line first and still have a little slack while you position the manifold back into position. Less chance of accidently pulling the line off after the manifold is in place. HTH

I just checked their web-site and the Dorman part number looks to be a 47409 for just the 90 degree 1/8"x1/8" rubber elbow. (Dorman and Motormite are both part of the same company) HTH
