you can buy the line copper or steel and the fittings then have someone make it for you or if you have the flaring tool make it yourself.
 
Well, if you spell "search" as "surch" and "any where" as "anny wear", youre going to have a hell of a time. The spell checker is going crazy! Get some help. Also, for that older vehicle, dont you have access to a wrecking yard? That is a very common set up. And you sure dont have to pay for a new fuel line. OR, (if the treads are stripped)you can re-chase the threads. You can buy the correct die at Sears
 
Hello,
If you still have the old Line, and scrap yards are not available and you are not able to find a pre-bent line, my suggestion is to measure the length of line, Then buy some steel alloy fuel line or stock as some call it ( when ordering make sure they know it is fuel line you are wanting ( make sure to notice if you have a inverted flare or a standard flare and what size of connector, and how thick of a line you need ) you have on your current line. They have Fuel line benders that are relativly cheap and can be found in most magazines or catalogs, And bend it yourself. Sometimes it is easier to make the part vs buying especially on older hard to find parts.. They work just as good and you get a little bit of pride out of it as well...
Here is a link for some good basic tube bending

Hope this helps..
 
2 thing come to mind, one try a junk yards, are cut it off an replace it wit a new fitting
