Need part number for additional air slide valve hose (1980)

Does anyone know the part number for the trick 3-connection hose that connects the air slide valve, throttle body, and AC air compensation valve.
Robert Bondi has a FAQ on making a replacement for the hose, but I would like to find a replacement. Perhaps wishful thinking :) I looked at the one at ...

Installed new Air slide valve for final solution

I installed a new air slide valve for the final solution. After I cleaned and lubed the old valve it improved significantly, but it degraded and was still troublesome. With the new valve - Problem solved. Thanks again for all the input.

Problem fixed = Aux air valve

Thanks for all the input. I pulled the Aux air valve, cleaned and spray lubed it and it now works well. The idle holds steady after the initial cold start and works thru the warm-up cycle. With perfect hindsight I should have seen this,, Big Thanks to Robert Bondi and everyone else who commented ...

Engine idle problem

Engine cold starts and runs well, however, after it reaches normal temperature it will stumble and almost die (100-200 rpm) when I clutch and revs come down from 2000+ rpm. I can bump the throttle and it will idle smoothly at 1000 rpm. Seems to be worse when air temperature is hot. I replaced the ...
