I've tried tapping it back in but it doesn't seem to make a strong seal and comes out by twisting the hose. Can it be fixed? If not, can you tell what it is I broke so I can buy a replacement? Thanks guys.

I might have one in my garage...I'll PM you later today!
Tap the hole and get a brass barbed fitting for it. Won't have to worry about it coming out again 
For a quick fix, temporary only, coat the nipple in Indian Head Sealant and let it cure. It wont leak and will hold. Theres no serious pressure for the IC system so you will be fine. This should buy you a few days until you can get a replacement one and get it apart. Who knows it may last a long time with the Indian Head depending how tight it fits in there now. You can pick up the Indian Head at any auto parts store. You can also expoxy it with something along the lines of JB Weld as a temp fix so you can use the car.

^^^^ Very Good idea.. :beer:
If it gets hot there certaintly is pressure. I'd contact Jameshell on Modfords.com for a better alternative.
slightly difficult to weld a steel tube to cast aluminum.

+2 excellent idea
Jb weld and push it back in let it set and you should be good to go

Thought about that too lol! I think I might try wrapping it in teflon tape and tapping it back in too.

My thinking also, as I've fixed small engine with that stuff. Just clean everything up good and give it a little scuff so the JB has something to really bite into.
go have someone aluminum weld it and know it is done..should not cost that much..if you know someone..
Loctite 680 Retaining Compound
I would try Loctite 680 Retaining Compound.

Yea..you broke it!! I would try taping it like said above or just replace it.
This, it won't come out ever once this stuff bonds.
I might still have one in the garage.. I'll check if interested..
If your going to remove it to tap it, you might as well just replace it with another one.
For a fix without removing it, try what has been suggested, the JB Weld, Loctite etc... But I really think the epoxy route will work fine and prob never leak.
