Tube nut

Did you ever figure out the name to the tube nut? Or how did you get the broken “nipple” fixed?

I used a copper plumbing elbow to repair the one on my 460 about 12 years ago.

The Dorman part in the post before yours from two years ago comes with the nut. I don’t know if you can find the Motorcraft KT-81 or KT-84 but when I bought those parts three years ago they both came with the nut and thread sealant. All I had to do was screw it into the intake manifold.

What vehicle are you working on?
