Do you have an auto parts store near you? Just about all of them will have them. Really not too hard to fine and a number of online auto parts places have them too.

You want one that comes with adaptors and at least one container. I believe you will find that most of them do. I have the Mity Vac MV8500 Silverline Elite Automotive Kit, but just about any of their units will work for you. You can check out all the models at www.mityvac.com.

If you are just looking for the simple Mighty VAC hand held bleeder kit, I bought mine at PEP Boys. I think it ran about $45 but this was a few years ago. I think MOTUL makes a pretty nice bleeder kit as well. These are advertised in the back of most of the Corvette magazines.
