ISP West sells them and their quality is excellent. I installed one on my 69
squareback about 6 weeks ago.

Check the vent line under the right front fender. It is probably bad.
Most are after all this time. They are available, but I cannot testify
to the quality of the replacements. If you don't repair it, your car
will give you problems in short time, as the front tire throws water
right into the gas tank.

I think Jim Adney may have some replacements.
I made my own, from fittings from the hardware store.
