Optispark Check Valve Help

The check valve for my vented optispark is stuck shut. The only way to get it from GM is to buy the whole vent line harness which is like $40. Does anybody know where I can get a 1/4 check valve??? Allready tried Lowes and nothing there.

AUto parts stores should have some. Go to the "HELP" brand section. It's more or less a filter.

Bound to be some people that have replaced the vacuum harness that might have one of those lying around.

Let me know if you can't find a suitable replacement. I snagged a complete vacuum harness off of a Fleetwood at LKQ on 70 the other day. It was in such good shape I couldn't pass it up for 5 bucks... I do know that the check valve makes air flow through these things tighter than you might think.
