Default Engine rebuild/install

I just rebuilt my 302 in my 1990 GT and I'm currently reinstalling it. I have two questions I needed some advice on.

When I dropped it back in I must've pinched the fuel line and it has a crack in it. It is right under the alternator where it connects to the stainless steel line. I believe its made from plastic or plastic type material where its cracked. Its like 2" from the connector. Question is how do I fix this?

Also I bought the pedestal 1.6 roller rockers from Late Model Restoration, I've read where on stud mounts after you install them you need to run the engine and adjust them accordingly. Do I just put these on and go or do they need some kind of adjusting? Does anybody know if these will clear the valve covers too?

heres a link to my rockers

You simply install the rockers, there is no adjustable feature to them......
Dunno what to say about the other problem.
