let me apologize first,i cant seem to find the thread that showed someone repairing the little vacuum line port coming off the side of the plastic intake tube (1st gen i believe).
anyways a customer came in last night with a 92 Ls 400..all Ls customers are directed towards me btw
,if im busy they wait until i can help. the guy has 385,000 on the car and the little line broke..so, i immediately found 2 for sale on ebay but they both had the port broken

..i had previously seen a post where a guy repaired the port.
btw the guy has never had an issue with gauge lights,trunk harness wires, seat not retracting on one side and has done the timing belt 3 times..i recommended a 4th soon. no ps leaks and has replaced the alternator once. hood doesnt stay up tho and the interior is thrashed..tranny works flawlessly. but it does have a few oil leaks.
thanks in advance

I also remember reading about this, I think it was for a home made induction system.
What I did find is on the link below which if the correct size may suit and be available locally at a pet store, remove the remains of the broken one then glue a replacement in with epoxy.

I bought a pack of assorted plastic tubes from advanced auto, brand was Vacu-Tite, I believe 1/4 was the correct size for both ends, working it down into the hole where the original port broke off, a little silicon sealant, good as new
