replacing vacuum hoses, will these do?
Here is what I'm looking at, blue hose kit: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=blue+hose+kit
The kit features 10 ft. of 3 mm hose, 5 ft. of 6 mm hose, and 2 ft. of 10 mm hose. In most cases, thats enough hose to complete most fuel injected cars.
Will that work? I'm looking to replace as many vacuum hoses as posible in one shot, everytime I go to work on something and disconnect a hose they crack and I have to run out and get more, plus blue would look decent. I know one vaccum line that has a checkvalve that goes all the way over to the other side of the car to the cruise control, thats why I'm concered if this is enough hose in their kit.
Also, I've searched posts for a vacuum line diagram, but i've only found that one small handwritten one of of chevythunder, is there a higher resolution/more clear one floating around? 89 TA 305 TPI
thanks for any help

It's fairly cheap and easy to use a piece of string as a guage to measure the lengths of all the hose you'll want to replace. The pieces going to the cruise servo, vacuum canister, and EVAP control valve can be rather long.
You might want to consider inspecting/replacing the large hose to the power brake booster, PCV valve, and possibly the fuel vapor hose at he EVAP canister, so that you can be confident about all your vacuum hoses at once.
