Vacuum Line Kit???

Anyone know if there is a complete kit to replace all the vacuum lines on a TPI 350? Looks like many of the lines are original and very suspect. Thanks.

The hard pre-formed plastic tubing will be hard to find. The rubber hose can be had at the local auto parts store. Just get various sizes and run new.

The pre-formed plastic tubing is EEEEEEEEEZY.

Just buy it in bulk at AZ or wherever, and hold it in the shape you want and wave a heat gun or propane torch over it lightly.

You can make lines that are indistinguishable from factory that way if you're careful.
