ruber caps on carb

ok the pictures below are the caps that go on the carb one goes between the hoses that goes to the distributer and one on top of the carb to the passengers side well any way they are cracked up the sides. where can i buy them from.
and will these cause my car to hardly idle and die. the emissions on this car have been takin off was done before i got it
i just put the second gen coil in pretty certian i know i did it right
the car was a shocker at idle before i did the upgrade

are those rubbers cracked classed as vaccum leaks?
