OPGI makes some replacement fuel pump to carb fuel lines. The main thing you want to look for is the proper configuration and fitting size. This one is for the 305 w/2 Bbl carb:

1981-1988 Latemod - Engine Lines, Monte Carlo pumptocarb, 305CID, 2BBL | OPGI.com

If that isn't the one you need have a look around on their site and you may find what you need:

Chevelle Parts, El Camino Parts | OPGI.com

its broke up top where someone tried bending it but broke it, im just going to bend it where it should be and then clamp a piece of tubing on it. gas leak is fixed, turn signals fixed. it doesnt seems to be burning might have been the gas that was leaking..but if it was burning oil it didnt have a hose/breather on the valve cover so i bought a breather for the hole so nothing got in it or out. now really, there is about 5 or 6 plugs that arent plugged in not sure where they go, i searched forever so my guess is that they arent in use anymore.

Honestly I would just cut the fuel line and get the f'd up broken part out plus extra, get a flare tool put a flair on it and then get rubber hose and a filter and stick it there, they don't push much psi like FI cars do,

Glad your getting things straitened out

been away for a while havent done anything to the car went outside this morning and checked for any leaks (car used to be garage kept, and where i live we have to keep the camper in our garage) and sure enough...the windshield is leaking, the floorboard was wet and i could see it running down from the windshield, gonna go look further into it and try and pinpoint the exact leaking spot
