Default PCV valve and tubing....?????I NEED ?

I called up ford and they have the PCV valve for my car, but they dont have the tubing for it. They said its too old and they dont carry it any more. Anywhere i can find this tubing ? The one i took off i broke tyring to take it off, and its like a 3 way connector. I went to advanced auto right after i broke it when i was taking it off ( last december )< HAHA, and they didnt have it.
Would any other part stores have it, or a website, one of the vendors maybe ?

Thanks

On the PCV valve (with it sitting in the motor), there should be two openings. The lower one should be a little bigger around and also slightly longer, the top one is smaller. You need to run a tube from the lower one to the main vacuum line on your upper intake. I just did this on mine yesterday. I have a systemax intake, and the main vaccum line is in the back of the intake right before the intake meets up to the throttle body. I just bought a 24 inch piece of 5/16" inner diameter rubber tubing. Worked like a charm. Then used a few zip-ties to secure the tubing at each end. Your intake may be a little different, but the main vacuum line will be the biggest opening on your intake.

Any hose from the parts store will work.
Look for the right diameter, so that it fits snug on the pcv.

cheaper hose will collapse under full vac, so look for some higher quality stuff.
efi fuel line is overkill though.
