Aluminum intake and vacuum fusion snafu - now what?

[msg]

Thought I could reuse my vacuum port from my old 350 to my new L31 intake and messed up. Maybe its because I bead blasted the threads and caused some fusion to happen with the aluminum edelbrock intake. I checked the threads before I attempted it, wanted to paint the part after a fitting to make sure things went well and they just didnt. It was a bit of a snug threading to start and I did back of several times to avoid a cross thread. It finally did start to take and then it took a wrench to thread it a bit more. Then when backing it out it was jammed. Took a hammer to tap the wrench counter clockwise to loosen and some of the threading of the intake is now attached to the vacuum part. I tried to use a pic and no dice. The tap a die set I have isnt this big so from here I guess its buy a new vacuum port and try again? Now Im spooked.
