Angry what I need for TB bypass???!!!!!!!!

I went to plenty of hardware stores and none of them can find the right size piece of connector or whatever that will fit both ends of the tube. I have a 94 the IN-tube is bigger than the out-tube. What do I need to do this. I really don't feel like buying one off ebay. please help me

I have a 95 Z28 and mine needed a 3/8 vacume cap and it fit both sides and I put clamps on both sides too just in case but from what I hear you dont really need to cap them off any way

The hoses should be 3/8" on both sides, and you need a 3/8" barbed hose connector, and a couple worm clamps to insure the hose stays on tight. If the hoses are not exactly the same size, they will still fit on that connector.

i promise they are not 3/8s on both sides. the in-side is bigger than the out-side. they are the same size hose in diameter but the inside diameter isn't the same I promise you that!!!

I think I just realized something. The top left hose going into the tb isn't the one you connect it with, is that right. it's the two on the bottom

I just did mine yesterday. NOt sure if this was the best way to do it.
OKay the hose on the left side leads to a radiator hose, take that off and just run it behind the thermo housing and connect it to that side. Now you got two radiator hoses that need to be plugged. The one on the left is a metal nippel, i pluged it with a vaccum cap from autozone, put some black sealant on it.
Now the right side hose that splits off the main radiator hose, i stuck a bolt with black sealant in it.
If your confused hit me up on AIM BadassHawk94, i can take pics for you and show you what it looks like. I was confused at first too, but its really simple.
Peace
Omar
