Is this a vacum check valve? and where can I get one?
See pic below, I broke the nipple off this thing over the summer, taped up the vacuum port to seal it. I don't know what this goes to as the vac. lines go into a harness real quick and cannot follow, I'm guessing HVAC ? cruise control ? I don't know. Anyway, I'd like to replace it, but don't know what to call it, or WHERE to get one. I'm guessing it's a vac check valve.Located on passenger side of intake manifold.

The Help section of O'reillys with different odds and ends carries the vacuum valve.

two-way vacuum check valve. available at most any auto parts supply house. dorman is probably the most common aftermarket - p/n 47150 - about $5
GM does have a service replacement, p/n 15733271. about $5-6 bucks on fleabay. it looks a bit different than OE it that matters to you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-OEM-A-C-CRUISE-CONTROL-VACUUM-CHECK-VALVE-NEW-GM-15733271/253363290734?epid=655640935&hash=item3af da1026e:g:2YYAAOSwbCpZdFOy:rk:1:pf:0
personally, i'd go with new GM replacement unless you run across an original GM/delco, old school, NOS part. they do pop up on fleabay from time to time, but as with any supply and demand, they are usually a bit pricey. my last chinese dorman part lasted about 3 years, and I replaced mine with a NOS gm part. -
