Not many places seem to stock or even have a listing for the front elbow on the non-RENIX 4.0L engines. Most do have the rear elbow with the restrictor. I bought a NAPA Echlin 29574 for $6.29 which is the reboxed dealer rear elbow with the restrictor (has the Chrysler logo and part numbers). Then I used vice grips and ripped out the restrictor. Its just a little plastic thats pressed in, maybe with a little adhesive to keep it stuck together. Its dumb that the open elbow costs more and is typically dealer only when it has less plastic. There is a Dorman part you can buy for about $4.29 on Amazon as well. But using the NAPA part you don't Made in China on your rig. Thought this may help someone.
