The rubber connectors for MAF sensor are pretty well shot. The poor things have been silliconed so many times it's pathetic and all the used ones I've came across are so hard and brittle that they pretty well disintergate when I try to remove or install them.

Does anyone know of a source for these?

Have a picture of what you are talking about?? May still be able to get them from your local Nissan dealer...

Having taken the liberty of checking your profile, I see you have a 78, as do I. The rubber duct that goes between the AFM and the air cleaner assembly (16577-N4201) and the one tha goes between the AFM and the throttle body (16578-N4710) are both still available at Courtesy Nissan for $31.85 and $41.20 respectively. They've gone up a bit since I purchased mine in 2001.

That's what I meant thanks.

Sorry my post wasn't more detailed, but I figured someone would know what I meant.
