anyone know where I can get a good set of vacuum line connectors
for a early 80s Chevy C10/C20, with a 350 engine in it? Engine has
60,000
actual miles on it..was new from GM when we did the conversion back in
the early 90s.

The vacuum line connectors to the various bits on the manifold and
carby are going bad..simply rotting away and Ill need to replace them
all before putting the old girl back on the road.
Its a early 80s phone company van converted to a camper..well..it was
at one time. We lifted the body (C10) and slid a 3/4 ton frame/drive
line/power plant under it...stuck in a new motor and a few years
ago..put in a Turbo 400


"Transmissioin"...again..doing something else and didnt get my head
wrapped around what I wrote until after I reread it 2x

Old age..my attention span..sob.....shrug

engine. Its not been on the road in at least 8 yrs or more.

Any suggestions?

One further thing..the starter was replaced by the last driver..and it
only engaged half the flywheel..the bendix gear only traveled about
half the distance it was supposed to move..only about halfway across
the flywheel gear. I tore up the teeth on the starter a couple
months ago trying to get the old bitch started..so I need to replace
the starter..they are cheap enough..but I need to get the "right one"

Maybe in a pet store aquarium department. I've used their air fittings
often.


That stuff will withstand normal environmental heat in an engine
compartment?
