I completely destroyed a fuel line fitting that connects the fuel line to the fuel pump outlet. It's a 1950 216. Where is the best place to get a replacement? Does the average auto store keep this sort of this in stock? Thanks.

Yup, it's stocked in most auto parts stores, it's the same as steel brake line.

Yes, as 4ON says, it is available at most all autoparts stores.
.
Use a piece of string to measure your fuel line or tale yours off and take in to match up at the parts store.

5/16 steel tubing. I would measure, buy one a little long and get a compression fitting for the fuel pump end. Get a spring tube bender and start bending at the carb end. After you work your way to the fuel pump, cut the line to length. You can also start at the fuel pump, working to the carb. Another option, if your existing line is in good shape is to get a compression fitting and cut off your existing line inside the flare (that's why there's a groove in the wheel on a tubing cutter). Personally, I wouldn't buy the stainless steel tubing, it's harder to work with than standard steel.

If you don't want to make your own, try Inline Tube. The line from the pump to the carb goes for about 20 bucks. They are on the web and in many automotive mags.
