Vacuum hose kit
Does anyone have a good link for vacuum hose kit for a 1979 l82? I am interested in replacing all the vacuum lines on my vette. I would like to do the carb and air cleaner first (hopefully separate kit) and then maybe the headlights. Or, is there a specific hose I can buy and cut or is it generic? Thank you!

It used to be that Dr. Rebuild's kit was the most authentic, but I think I read that they went under. If not, they may also be available from other vendors as well.
I bought a kit from Zip years ago and it wasn't even close to original. Some hoses were much larger diameter. You probably wouldn't know the difference unless you are replacing original hoses 1 by 1. And, the provided routing diagram was NOT correct. This proved to be a real problem, as many of the original hoses had been removed from my car when I bought it and I installed the hoses per the diagram. I spent A LOT of time trying to get everything to work right, because I thought the supplied diagram was correct. NOT.
