I'm missing the T that connects to the carburetors. Into this vac line,
the other T seems to be dry rot also. I went to local bike shop, (broward motorsports). They quoted me 30.00 each.

somewhere online I can order this part?

Welcome!

I would get a T from regular car parts store, there is plenty to choose from.

Thank you for help. Barely got any sleep last night, I've been hooked on reading posts/builds maintenance and etc. i'll keep you updated when I get this T fixed. Also I'm excited to get my vintage tag today. Will post pictures.  ;D
