Does any one know if I can get a replacment kit that has colored vacuum lines. I'd like to replace them as they can break down over time. If I'm going to change them I'd like to have them a different color then the rest of the black hoses under the hood. That way I can color code the engine bay to corosponding systems.

That seems to be the nature from some of the mental midgets on this forum, sorry to say. Get yourself a set of wire markers, either a roll of 0-9 or a book of 0-9, they are self sticking and you can label vacuum pipes and wires as needed. Keep a log of what you do for reference. Trouble shooting will be easier. Good luck!

it is a quicker way of referencing things... instead of tracing it... the tag and wire idea is good too but i guess it looks a bit morepleasing to the eye.... then again i would change it as it goes bad....
