You can probably get the stock replacement at autozone, or any dodge dealer.
Or you can get the upgraded hughes or APS version that won't break again.

Or you could eliminate it all together with the hughes FI air gap, or mopar M1 manifold.

If you had the tools, and the time, I could see it being worth it. But the $137 is worth it to me.

I bought some parts once from an owner of a Dakota R/T with the 360 that claimed to have had a local guy make him an aluminum plate.

I got mine from Hughes though. Don't know anyone local myself.
