Default Vacuum Lines

My old hard plastic vacuum lines are getting super brittle. I have repairs in most of them and some have simply been replaced. The trouble is those special looking connectors all over the place. I went looking for a basic kit that would have all the vacuum lines I needed already set up, then all I need to do is plug them in. I'm hoping one of y'all might know if such a thing exists and where I can get it.

I know: it doesn't exist. There are too many variations, and too few people who care about keeping it all working, for anyone to make money selling kits like that. Buy vacuum line by the foot, and replace one section at a time. I prefer to use factory-colored 3mmIDx9mmOD silicone.

This is really helpful! Thank you!
I kind of thought there was a purpose behind the color coding, but I hadn't really worked out the detail of it, but that's going to be valuable as I restring this one.

You should collect all the truck's details & history, and put them into your signature as this page explains:
