Hoses and carburetor plumbing adapters... need advice

This is my fourth post in the last week but I need help. I am installing a rebuilt Rochester carb (thanks drew on this site for steering me in the right direction). The hoses for the carb are horrible, they are 30 years old and falling apart due to heat and fluids eating at them, plus I took it out pretty poorly due to lack of good tools and expierence. Getting new hoses is easy but the pieces between that are "adapters" I need to find those. Is there any kit for these type of things it's a 84 Rochester electric choke carb. Here's a picture of examples of pieces I need.




There are more and I would like to replace all of them so if anyone knows of a kit that would be awesome. Thanks

check here https://quadrajetparts.com/rochester...jet-c-128.html

ive never had much luck finding hose ends and stuff, ive usually had to make do with leaving enough hose to make the hard right a gentle bend.

tbh ive got an 87 camaro and i cant even identify what those end pieces are! one looks like a vac hose reducer, the big one looks almost pcv'ish

Try Dorman https://www.dormanproducts.com/gsear...nectors+-+soft they have a good assortment of vacuum connectors. Most of the chain parts stores keep a good inventory.
