Default 1975 Diverter Valve Needed, Where?

Need to purchase a replacment diverter valve for my 75 350ci convertible. Any ideas on where to shop? I've tried all the aftermarket companies, Central, Mid AM, Ecklers, and my local Chevy dealer.

Help!

Diverters are a PITA to find, and expensive when you find them. Other parts of the smog system are reproed, but nobody makes diverters.

You might try some of the Corvette boneyards like Contemporary Corvette (you'll have to google 'em since we're not supposed to post URLs for non-supporting vendors). But you'll pay out the wazoo. Haunting ebay might be your best bet--set up email alerts for both the part description and the part number, and wait for a hit.

You won't get stung as bad as some of us--a smog diverter for a '69 big block like mine goes for several hundred dollars unrestored.

Which piece is the diverter. I just removed the 'smog' pump from my '75. Is the valve part of that?
