I'm trying something similar. The current hose is damaged where it turns to
go into the block. The rest seems to be in good shape. So, I'm going to
the parts store tomorrow to find an elbow with the correct diameter at both
ends (it gets smaller after the turn) and an in-line junction so I can get
the car going again. I'll keep looking for the right part, but I'm not
expecting much success.

I did this same trick for a water hose that failed about a year back and
it's held up fine.

I'll try that too probably. This particular part does NOT match the one in
any of the manuals I've seen. Those all look like the one racertod send the
URL for in another message. This one is an elbow at the block with a run
way over to the air box, and with a tap going up about half way along. Like
the one racertod shows, except the joint (3 and 3A in that drawing) just
aren't there at all.
