If the oil line broke at the fitting were it goes into the block and the rest of the line looks good you can just get a new compression fitting and reuse the line.You should be able to get oil line kit at most any auto parts store.

You can do that. But I think the "line" is telling you something. You can get a new line and fittings at one of the chain auto stores. I think it is by sun pro. I had the same problem on my 73 but mine was at the gauge side. Can you say carpet replace? I put a later electric gauge in this will never happen again
