Valve cover rubber grommets on '72 455

I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets, cleaning up the covers themselves, and want to get the 2 rubber grommets - 1 for each valve cover. I believe the one on the drivers side is for the PCV tube and the other is what the air cleaner "pipe" nestles down into (see pic). If anyone can help me with terminology or part numbers, or how/where to get them ...that would be fantastical. Didn't find them on Rock Auto but probably not looking in correct place.

Thanks all.

Jay

Type oldsmobile valve cover grommets into Google. All the repro vendors sell them. I think the ones from Inline Tube are probably the best. Many of the vendors just mark up the cheap Dorman ones. Yes, RockAuto sells them. The Standard Motor Products items are better quality than Dorman.

So I found the PCV grommets for the valve cover on the drivers side and the passenger. But on the passenger

, there is a metal "filter" device that fits into the grommet at the valve cover, and then another rubber elbow grommet that goes to the tube for the air cleaner housing (see pic). I couldn't find this one anywhere. Thoughts?
