Where can I buy or how can I make the tee between the warm up

For the tee between the warm up (auxiliary) air regulator and manifold the small connection had a restrictor in it. I don't remember the size but it is important as it meters air from the tank vapor recovery system.

Where can I get the connector?  I had dummied up a connector many years ago and I think it has sprung a leak
