vaccum hose
yall know the 2 vaccum hoses coming out of the dizzy.well i went to replace the tube and it came off , but it took the peace that hooks on to the dizzy with it. the little think that sticks out that the tube goes on . an i im deep shit , what can do to fix it without buying a new one? also when i just started it up i must have lost pressure somewhere cause it was running really badly . the longer i let it run the better it got. its making sorta a popping noise , but i have concured that it is from my pos airfilter and its shield . so im gonna et a new K&N air filter

Re: vaccum hose
Here's an idea. Get a small brass hose coupling (small enough for your vacuum hose to fit on) with a barbed end on both sides. Drill out the hole in the distributor vacuum advance large enough for one end of the brass fitting to fit in about 1/2 or 3/4 of the way in and glue that sucker into the vaccum advance with epoxy or JB Weld. That should work.
I replaced my vaccum advance when it would not hold vacuum and it cost me $75 at the dealer. It is $45 (plus shipping) from Majestic Honda.
The hose couplings should be available at Home Depot. You migh be able to find one with small pipe threads on one end and a barbed connection on the other. With that one you could thread it into the vacuum advance.
I've been improvising for years, what can I say!

Re: vaccum hose
If you drill it out or jam something in there be careful not to get junk in your vaccume system. That could be all kinds of problems. Can you get to a junkyard?

Re: vaccum hose
The thing to which you are referring is the EGR valve. I had to replace mine a short while ago. You won't pass emission testing without it (controls NOx emissions).
