I just bought an '89 RS with a TBI 305 that is completely stock. In fact all of the vacuum lies are original. Well, lets just say that there are a lot of leaks and disintegrated hoses. Where can I buy a "kit" to replace all of them? That is probably wishful thinking but anything will help.

never heard of a kit for this problem . fear not , just get 8-10 ft. of 7/32 vacuum hose and replace one section at a time . be prepared to replace a few plastic connectors . if it looks like it might be bad , change it . you will be glad you did . just do one section at a time . good luck .
Most auto parts stores have silicone hose kits that come with 3 different sizes. That would be a good kit to start with. You'll need more though.
I try to stay away from rubber (you see why)
I try to stay away from vinyl (tends to harden a bit)
I prefer silicone (good for the life of the car)
JamesC , once again i owe you one . i'll get ya . BEWARE .... BTW i think the hose might be 5/32" not 7/32 take a sample to store with you . good luck .
