Booger I broke Power Steering line

I got my car up & running yesterday. Hooray! I have a few issues to fix on it before I go driving it:

1#Broken power steering line(Pontiac Says its discontinued:th_tongue2:)
2#Rear ZZP Fuel Logs leak @ the elbow(may hafta use stock rails)
3#Exhaust keeps falling off headers;Guess I gotta weld that

Please tell me someone knows where I can get that metal return line for the power steering fluid? :th_sign-please:
 


I'm sure that other auto parts stores carry the same thing, check out any local junkyards and see if they have any good ones.
 


I would've walked right into NAPA if there were still one in this city but there isn't. I went to their website. Is this line easily replaced?
 
Got under the car today to find out how to change out the power steering line & I found a puddle of fuild. But it wasn't were it shouldv'e been. The was right under the exhasut. I took a peek up @ the exhaust & found the rubber tubing smashed and slightly melted. I'm gonna try to seal it up, the hole is small. Hopefully RTV with duck tape & header wrap will get me by for a few days until the new line comes :P

That probably won't work since the lines are pressurized, don't think that you have much of a choice but to leave it alone till you get the lines in.
 


I know exactly how you feel, I've learned the hard way that shortcuts aren't the best things to do on a car.
