Question:

Can you cross reference the part number I need? #2. Can you tell me if #23-468-469 is the correct brake kit needed. #3. And do I need special wiring? It currently has a 7 way plug. Thanks!

You have done your research! I can confirm that the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K item # 23-468-469 is the correct brake kit you need for your Dexter 8-249 drums.
If you are interested in replacing your Dexter 8-249 drums we have two options. The first is in a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern item # AKHD-555-35-K. The second option is a 5 on 5 bolt pattern item # 84556UC3.
If you trailer currently has a functional 7-way connector you will not need any special wiring to replace your brakes. If you need some extra brake wire you will want the Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire - per Foot item # 10-2-1. A Trailer Wiring Junction Box - 7 Color Coded Terminals - ABS item # 3375601101 is also a great way to consolidate all your trailer wiring into one secure area.
