Default need help identifying a part please

I need assistance with a part name, number and a vendor who carries this item.

I am looking for a rubber L-shaped boot with two holes that goes between the vacuum lines and the two-tube pull-down manual override switches under the dash. I have the pull down switches. I have the vacuum lines. I just need the L-shaped rubber connecting boot that connects them.

If anyone has a couple of spares, let me know. Or an item number and a supplier will work.

Thanks in advance
Dan

Try Dr. Rebuild. I don't have a part number or description.

I think this is the part. I've never seen them in any of the catalogs, used is proably your only choice. I looked in Doc's catalog and could not find a listing

Dr rebuild doesn't have them, according to the *** Man they are part of the vacuum harness. I would get a Hemmings Motor News and call every used Vette parts place in there, you will surely get some!!!!!!!

I found to cure all the leaks in my '71, I had to remove these and put the lines straight onto the valves. The arizona heat is tough on these!!

Yep that's the parts. I will try the recyclers if no one here has any. I can't believe I lost one. I'm usually careful about that sort of thing. I know none of you fellows have lost anything, have you?

On cars with the wiper door, the switch turns off the wipers so you can change the blades when the wiper are out of their house. There are 2 manual vacuum valves, one for headlights and one for wiper door.
