99 ATX, v6 cougar

Well today , i accidentally broke one of the vacuum hoses on top the the UIM. The bigger of the two, which plugs into the brake booster. The plastic clip that plugged into the UIm was the culprit, and all if it fell into the manifold. I had to take off the intake/tb and removed all the pieces. So now im in need of a new vacuum line and plastic piece to plug into... anyone have a part number from ford?

no one can help me out? Its one of the vacuum hoses on the UIM... went to ford and they couldnt find the part, so right now its rigged in pretty badly, and i could use some help. I tried searching FPO, and couldnt come up with it either.

In the past the concenses seemed to be that the factory replacement parts were extremely expensive and that you would be best served getting a wrecking yard replacement.

I have replaced both of these. For the record to remove the hose or hoses from the intake manifold, press down on the locking ring with a screwdriver and the hose and fitting will slide right out of the manifold.

The dealer should have been able to find it. Just tell them the vaccume line going to the brake booster....find another dealer or person.
