Where to get intake manifold vaccuum line fitting?

Hello all-
Had a near-heart stopping experience with my 87 900T this afternoon. My girlfriend had it out for a spin, and when returning home, she reported that it had started to spew black smoke right before she arrived. My first reaction was oh, shit, the turbo is gone.
But, upon inspection, it turned out that there was a much simpler problem. The vaccuum line fitting on top of the intake manifold has popped off. (The one with a skinny line going to the firewall (boost pressure gauge I am assuming) and a big fat line going to the charcoal canister.)
I managed to push fitting back into the manifold, but it looks like a pretty loose fit. (ie I can pull it back out with ease.) The engine runs fine, and high rpms didn't manage to pop the fitting a second time.
But, to play it safe, I'd like to replace the fitting. The bottom of it was pretty soft, and looked deteriorated. Does anyone know where I can get one? the nearest Saab dealership is a good hour drive away. Can anyone reccommend a mail-order or internet source for this part?
Thanks,
Nate
