Default 69 Vacuum hose routing

Hi,
I just bought a 69 roadster after not having a Vette for over 30 years. It needs plenty of work, but I can drive it and work on it a bit as I go. Maybe I'll do a full on resto at a later date.
I haven't dropped the tank yet, and it looks to have never been out. All indications are that this is an original L71 car, although missing the Tri-power and some other mods.
Much of this car has been neglected and messed with and I need some full pictures or at least diagrams of the vacuum hose routing as well as the washer fluid hose routing. Much of it is disconnected and some parts may be missing.
Can someone provide me with pics of how some of their correct hose routing is along the firewall, or at least where I can get a good book that shows where everything goes?

Try this from Willcox. They also might have info in their help area.

Not sure if you meant engine vacuum or for wiper and headlights.

You should also get the AIM which was used by the factory when they built the cars.

Willcox has it on CD. You will need this.

I have a few other documents I could send if you send me a PM.

I agree. The assembly instruction manual has diagrams of everything you're asking about, plus more.

This also helps:


I'm guessing you're going to want Bizocco's book.
