Red face Need some vacuum help

Ok, so I am going to add a power brake booster to my 68 F100 with a 360 and a 2bbl. The vacuum port has an "F" type metal fitting going into it with 1/8 inch nipples on it. There are spaces for like four vacuum hoses to go to it, but only 1 is live currently. Can that "F" be replaced with one that has the 3/8 inch opening to supply the brake booster? Is it readily available at the local parts house? Is there somewhere else I should be getting vacuum from for the brake booster? Thanks in advance.

The old 2BBL intake I had had the port you are talking about, plus one with a plug in it. It also had a spacer that had the large port for the booster vacuum. I think that I still have that lying around somewhere.

Can you remember what all those openings were supposed to be used for?? Is it a piece that can be obtained at a local store?

Fly, The passengerside rear runner on the intake is where you should be looking for. My brake booster and the tranny mod. valve are connected there.
