LOL! Definitely not. You can try, but be prepared for lots of confusion when you ask and a startlingly high cost when they find what you're looking for but have to order it in.

Go on this forum's sponsor site, the dealership, ebay, Amazon, that place in Arizona, etc and get yourself a collection of Y and + profile connectors. For the single connectors you can use cut sections of vacuum hose which you CAN get at the FLAPS.

Replace every single rubber vacuum connector you can get your hands on. Pay attention to any restrictors, dashpots, or orifices you find and reinstall them where they go.

Replacing the rotten rubber is one of the best things you can do for your car, especially if it's K-Jet.
