    Vacuum fiting question

    Can anyone tell me what this fitting is called, I've had shift problems and found someone put electrical tape over it with the trans vacuum line in it. I hooked up a piece of hose to it for now. I'm replacing the modulator tonight and probably should replace the fitting. Thanks
