Does anyone know if someone makes a reproduction of the distributor vacuum advance hard line?  Mine is currently connected with a bit of vacuum hose as opposed to a hard line.

Get some 1/16"* OD tubing and make it.   Reuse the end fittings, that's what I did. 
I bought in aluminum from one of the online tubing supply houses for next to nothing, shipping was more than it cost.   I'm sure I have some left over but not in the shipping or selling end.   You can bend this by hand without tools, just be gentle so not to kink.
*  check your's size with a micrometer, I'm going from memory and that's not accurate on a ol guy.
You might find some at your local parts store, if it's an oldy, but not certain.

You  should be able to buy the needed tubing at a NAPA store.

I sorta cheated and went with Classic Tube.  It was 39 dollars and hopefully it should be bent to factory specs.  I thought about doing myself...I have the proper tube bending tools however my time is limited.
