Auto tranny issues

Thank you. I'm trying to search for the part via various auto parts stores online and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Water Valve per 1997 Dodge Factory Service Manual. Dodge uses them to cut off the coolant from circulating through the heater core when the AC system is on Max output.

I definitely agree... I can't imagine that it's that expensive a part. Incidentally it was the vacuum connection on this valve that I had accidentally disconnected a while back and then was in full panic mode for a few days when I couldn't get air from anywhere but the defroster and floor vents LOL.

OK let me bother you all for another thing. I am in the process of working on this thing and I decided to check all the vacuum lines. There is a vacuum line that goes into the engine (passenger side) via an elbow connector and there is a one-way check valve right there, then another elbow then a connection that splits into two different lines. Anyway, I took both elbows off the check valve in order to check it's operation but didn't really pay attention to how i took it off. Sooooo, my question is I assumed based on how these things work that the valve should be inserted so that air can be pulled away from the engine (i.e. the end that you can blow into, but not out of is facing the engine)... is that correct?
