Default Vacuum line kit?

Hello group. New member here. My wife recently picked up her dream car (1976 4 speed). The car has 58k original miles and overall pretty good condition. I performed a standard tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, filters, oil etc). I found several broken vacuum lines and patched or replaced as necessary to get the engine running smooth.

Now I want to check and/or replace all the vacuum lines. Does someone make a kit with all the vacuum line sizes and correct markings? My local parts store has just the plain ole black tubing. Some of the original lines have yellow stripes and OEM looking markings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I think Doc Rebuild sells a kit like that. He's a vendor here.

I agree with the Doc Rebuild posters. I bought the set from him and it was everything I needed, chart to tell exactly where they went, and excellent quality. His lines were also the correct diameter to fit the vacuum relays for the headlights correctly.
