If you have a piece of rubber hose that is of similiar diameter you can patch it with that. Just stick one end of the plastic line into the rubber line and do the same on the other side. Instant fix.

ok could that vacume tube have something to do with my oil pressure gauge, i'm at work now and my oil pressure was maxed all the way here i didn't have any tubing left at my house so i just taped it and there wasn't much to tape so its still not connected all the way

Maxed OP gauge reading = wire disconnected.

The sending unit is right underneath the distributor, so whatever you did back there that broke the vacuum line, you also knocked that wire loose.
