I have a 1972 Ford T-Bird that has some of the ported vacuum valve nipples broken off. Is there any way to fix these?
Broken nipple ported vacuum valve

In the carb? or little plastic valves? If they're in the carb I would get some steel brake line the same size, then drill the busted ones off and JB-weld (or other 2-part epoxy, of the fuel resistant type) a stub of steel line in its place. If a plastic valve, I guess take the same idea and modify it as appropriate.
good luck,

Other vacuum components with different size nipples can be fixed through autovacuumvalverepair.com
I looked for autovacuumvalve It's autovvr.com for similiar problems
I've got 2 broken nipples on my chest, from walking into a wall at night. I've found duct tape does a good job of holding them in place until they reseal.

Shouldn't be too difficult to find a replacement ported vacuum valve, or you could simply delete the system.
