Yep. Willcox probably has the kit. I believe ZIP lists it. Corvette Central. If you want repro correct, try Paragon or Doc Rebuild.

Hi hl,
Cutting 3/8" off the end of each hose gives a new sealing area on the hose's connections.
Replacing all the hoses rarely cures any vacuum ills, so the cost is better spent elsewhere.
Dr. Rebuild probably has the nicest kits if you decide to replace everything.
Regards,
Alan
