Installing a catch can, I broke this part. It's the air intake for PCV. How do I fix this? Is there a part # I can order from somewhere? Can I just take that broken part out by itself or do I have to replace the whole intake plenum?
Also how do I take the cardboard heat shield off? I only lifted the front of it to take the pictures.
You're going to need a new intake manifold. You can try epoxy but it might not hold. Also, why are you installing a catch can on a stock LT1? I'm sorry you got caught up in the BS but that is a waste of time and money.

Thanks! I just wanted the valves not to get dirty. Figured the engine would run better and last longer with a catch can.

I'm not trying to criticize. The LT1/LT4 platform does not have this issue in stock or mildly modified form. It is not needed at all.
You can try a plastic epoxy to fix that piece but I would recommend reaching out to PRAY on Camaro6 forum and buying a ported LT1 intake manifold and TB combo( or at least the intake manifold). Easy 20rwhp and no tune needed. It's a really easy swap but if you are not mechanically inclined its a quick and cheap job for an experienced mechanic. There are guides online that are easy to follow.
Buying a ported unit from PRAY is almost the same price as buying a new one from GM but you get extra Horsepower. Also, ditch the catch can and return it if you didn't already install it. As I've said its a complete waste of money regardless of some of the religious followers you will find on the internet.
just plug it,find a cap and use a hose clamp with rtv.
or just straighten out the broken fitting and use a hose and clamp it with some rtv, if you wanna run the catch can still.
Buy a new intake manifold but sell the stupid catch can. 100% NOT needed; waste of money (plus cost you an intake manifold). 49k miles here and my intake valves are perfectly clean. These cans create more problems than they solve.
I broke something, please help
