Dumb question.. I know (i drive a diesel tho so cut me some slack)
but do we have to get a line made by napa or something?
- If we have to get a line made by napa does anyone know the correct size it should be? Is our best bet just to take them the old one?
Does anyone have a good quick fix?
Thanks!

W123 chassis were fitted with K-Lambda, rather than KE, hence no external fuel pressure regulator. Notice that the OP did not fail to identify the damaged line.
