Why on earth would anyone use a USED vacuum connector?! They're so cheap it's impossible to justify anything other than outright replacement. They can be had from Pelican parts, Amazon, eBay, or a plethora of other sources for cents.

The vacuum line is generic, forget about matching color codes. Buy some in bulk, replace the crispies under the hood, and be done with that job for another 30+ years. Rubber will crack and leak in 5 or so years, don't fall into that false-economy trap. The hard line will last for decades.

Important note: When replacing vacuum connectors, pay attention to any orifices or check valves installed. Don't throw them out!
