The OEM TJ brake booster uses a 11/15" vacuum hose and so I replaced the one way valve with one from GM for the larger 1/2" barbed fitting to match the vacuum port on the LS3 car intake. Part #179-1266. I used 1/2" air brake hose to connect (I had to buy 50ft so if anyone has a use for 49ft let me know).
The side that fits into the brake booster fit just as snug as OEM.
I still need vacuum for the OEM Jeep HVAC controls. So I shortened the Jeep hard vacuum line that runs along the firewall and wrapped it in self fusing electrical tape to increase the diameter for a snug fit:
On the back of the LS3 car intake there's a 1/4" vacuum port that's blocked off. There's a tab on the back with 2 wings that needs to be cut off to use. I used a 90* fitting from Standard Motor Products (VT25) to adapt from 1/4" to 3/16"
Everything on the other side I left stock so the vacuum reservoir and HVAC are left intact.
