Default Charcoal canister Code PO442

Hello, any leads on resources for 2001 Ram 3500 Van emissions parts. The dealer claims that parts for the '01 are no longer available.
This vehicle has 2 charcoal canister. Which are hooked up in series. I'm looking for the 90°boot that goes into the 2nd canister two lines different sizes. One looks like about 3/16" the other is a 1/4". I'm looking for ideas or suggestions. The code is a PO442 (small vacuum leak). I need to get it registered so I have to pass emissions here in Tucson AZ. Any suggestions would appreciated. The salvage yards around here are fairly picked through.

FWIW I had a massive vacuum leak that I found when doing the intake in the evap system. The rubber elbow from the vacuum line to the switch had totally ripped open. You couldnt see it too well, but you could hear it... Probably from the years of H2 gas and other toxic vapors under the battery....
I just ended up using/making a piece of vacuum line and patched it in...looks and works great

Pickup a package of multi-size vacuum hose, and fashion your own connectors. I searched high and low for this and never found a source for the part.
