Vacuum line replacement.
I would like to change all the vacuum lines in my 69. Sitting outside for as many years as it. It wasn’t didn’t do the lines any favors.
is there a complete kit that can be bought that includes not only the headlights and wipers but the by overrides ,the heater controls, and the astro vents also.
does a kit like this exist or does it have to be pieced together.

I'll second Dr Rebuild molded hose kit. His hoses fit correctly. Keep in mind there is an early and late 69 hose kits. Early 69 has the vacuum relay valve located inside the r/f fender and late 69 is next to the master cylinder. I'd also recommend getting the Doc's troubleshooting guide: https://shop.docrebuild.com/1968-198...tingGuide.aspx and the headlight washer hose kit- https://shop.docrebuild.com/1969Corv...ReproOfGM.aspx

Dr Rebuild makes the best hose kit that fits perfectly and had the right color coded parts. On my early 1968 the kit consisted of dozens of hoses and I was having my 427 put back in so the Restoration shop did the replacement and it worked great.
Having the vacuum hose replacement done by professionals early in my Corvette years was the smartest thing I could have done. 15 years later the headlights would pop to attention weeks after the last shutdown. The system works well when the parts are QUALITY like those Dr. Rebuild has been supplying us for the past decades.
