Fuel Filter and Vacuum Hoses

I was going to change the fuel filter and noticed that some of the hoses under the filter were deteriorating. The PCV hose cracked off at the carburetor when I was bending it. When I was trying to break the nut loose on the metal gas line to the carburetor, the filter housing seemed to move freely…maybe it was dripping gas onto the hoses causing them to deteriorate.

Here are my questions:

How do I break the nut loose on the metal gas line attached to the filter housing? It will not budge.

Where can I get 5/32 GM vacuum hoses…? I would like to get hose that is stamped with GM markings. Don’t know if I can get the different colors (all black, yellow stripe, orange stripe and white stripe).

Where can I get 1/4 GM stamped hose from the vapor canister to carburetor? Should that be a fuel hose or is a vacuum hose OK?

The PCV hose had no markings on it...but, I need to replace that as well.

Thanks,

Dan
