vacuum part question
ok, I broke a vacuum "valve" on my 84 300D yesterday, and now the car won't shut-off. No, it hasn't been running since yesterday, luckily I knew about the manual shut-off. My question is, I can not find what this part is called to order a new one. There is a line that comes out beside the master cylinder. It's a black hose, and feeds into a two-port valve after about 8 inches. It looks like it may be a check valve, anyway, the first port nipple broke, and of course the hose became disconnected. I will try to post two pictures of the part. My question is, what is this part called and where can I buy a new one?
I did search on Phantoms diagrams, but my results were inconclusive. Anyway, thanks for any help.

Unfortunetly you have to buy that entire hose to repair the broken nipple on the check valve. Here is a link to one on Fastlane.
Vacuum Booster Hose at Fastlane You could also try a junkyard replacement. What is the mesh hose on the wheel well? Are you running Veggie?

Thanks Andrew,
I saw that part in my search, but I never would have thought that was what I needed, I think I just skimmed over it. You've been a great help. Yes, I am running svo, for about three months now. Anyway, thanks again

Instead of buying a new booster hose, I installed a piece of 1/8" copper tubing and bored out the broken nipple with a 9/16" bit. It seems to work like a champ so far. I'm not sure if I should glue the tube in, it's pretty snug.

If you decide to use glue, make sure you don't plug anything up, or drill it out if you do.
