It's probably 1/8" OD copper tubing, which should be available at just about any professional-level auto parts store. Don't waste your time looking at Auto Zone, Advance, etc., they just won't have it! NAPA, maybe!

I've seen copper tubing kits at the discount stores. I don't know if they were 1/8" OD or not, but it's worth a look.

I got one of the kits at AutoZone and it the tubing was 1/8". It fit great on my '59 235.
