Default 3/8 vacuum filter

On my 87 dakota V6 there are two vacuum filters in the lines that feed the brake booster and then to a vacuum manifold above the brake booster. They basically look like a fuel filter, but on one end it has a elbow.
Anyone have a source for these? Otherwise, will probably try a fuel filter in place. They are plastic, and I broke one of the elbows off.
Thanks

From the parts list (found in the FAQ message, about 40% down), it's Mopar # 4397925

ArizonaParts shows 3. arizonaparts.com/database/partlist.txt

Are they filters, or one-way valves?

Parts list calls them filters.

Of course, they COULD be filter out air flowing the wrong way ...

"4397 925 2 FILTER, Brake Booster Hose" to copy and paste from the parts list I downloaded from here.

First, thanks to both of you for your input.
1. it is a filter and not a check valve. Can blow through it both ways.
2. Seems I was calling it by the wrong name. It's a power brake booster filter.

Seems Dorman makes a replacement, but out of stock everywhere, except, at my local "advance auto parts" Will pick it up latter today.

Thanks again.
