broke a vac line connection please help.

I was running new line to get rid of the plastic tubing and I snapped off the plastic part going in to the manifold. Anyone know how I could possibly fix this. Possible drill and tap it and put in a threaded hose connector. Sorry the picture is turned. It's the inlet right behind the throttle body.

Drill tap and use a barbed fitting. You can always epoxy the fitting in as well.

I did the exact same thing when I was doing my own cam install. I used super glue and just put the piece that broke off back on, hold it in place for a minute with pressure, mine was a clean break and fit right back in.

You dont need to drill out of put a barbed fitting or something. I then put some silicone around the break to make sure it was sealed. Ive had zero issues with it.
