Default Vacuum Issues

Gents,
I recently purchased a 95 XJ and working through the issues to get it to DD status. Of the few things that need attention, I am looking over the vacuum system. Where does one find the little vacuum connectors, tee's and elbows for the 1/8 hose connections? I have looked at a few of the auto box stores here and no one seems to stock that stuff. ("We'd have to order that and it would be two weeks" Seems like they are two weeks from anywhere) Anyway...what's your experience???

I must be getting old...it took me a while to figure out what JY was! Too funny. I am not sure one's in the JY would be much better..so I will continue to look at the parts houses and find some or order them. Thanks for the suggestions.

Vatozone?? You aren't from eastern pa are you? I thought the vatos at the zone was only around here...

Found the elbows at AutoZone in the help section. 4 or 5 in a box for 4.99. They have the 1/8 hose and all sorts of various vacuum connectors.
